Simple destruction of the two main Confederate armies under Lee and Johnston (soon replaced by Hood).
But neither turned out simple.
He himself got bogged down in Petersburg, forced to wait nine months till attrition wore down Lee's diminishing manpower and supplies faster than his.
And Sherman could not pin down Hood, and so had to settle for the capture and virtual sacking of Atlanta, as a symbolic victory to help Lincoln's re-election campaign. His subsequent crossing of Georgia ran directly counter to Grant's proposed strategy, but it did succeed in its aim of undermining civilian morale, as well as destroying the recent harvest that the Confederate troops desperately needed.
