Destroy the farms, kill the livestock, burn any crops the army can't eat, and wreck the railroads. Violence against civilians was strictly forbidden. When this happened, it was usually not at the hands of Sherman's men, but the mounted vandals ("bummers") who rode alongside the army for the food and the fun.

Burn the farms, wreck the railroads, but no violence to civilians. When violence did happen, it was usually not at the hands of Sherman's troops. It was carried out by lawless mounted vandals (including deserters from both sides), who rode alongside the army for the fun, and the pickings.
Did inisent people die in the civil war?
If by "inisent" people you mean "innocent"...then yes. They did. Civil War was the first war in which Total War (AKA: don't care if your a civilian or soldier, your a target for me!) could be considered to have been done. It was done by Maj. Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman, who traveled from Atlanta Georgia to the city of Savannah, Georgia. On the way he tore down any infrastructure and made sure to consume any supplies and burn down whatever was left unused. Sherman also stated that any resistance was to be met with unrelenting retribution....
What southern city did General Sherman burn in the civil war?
Sherman's "March to the Sea" went right through the heart of Atlanta, GA -- he burned everything in his path, thus demonstrating a concept of total war. The concept essentially means that Sherman brought the horrors of war, such as hunger, violence, terror, and starvation straight to the Southern homefront through big-time means of destruction. Remember the Rebels stayed in the game early on because of their fighting spirit, in their own battle for states' rights and whatnot. This total war was an attempt to make these Southerners HATE WAR!
