Savannah, Georgia.
What did willam t sherman accomplish during the civil war?
During the Civil War, General William T Sherman led an army in the western part of the Confederacy east of the Mississippi River. While he fought in a number of battles, the most important began with the Vicksburg campaign. Then he came into prominence with the Battle of Chattanooga and the subsequent march south to Atlanta. He burned Atlanta and destroyed the railroads around it. Atlanta had been an important manufacturing and transportation center for the Confederacy. He marched south from Atlanta to Savannah destroying a 60 mile wide corridor. This made it impossible for the factories of Alabama to send supplies to Virginia. Transportation up the Tennessee River was blocked at Chattanooga. Rail was blocked across Georgia. The scorched earth policy across Georgia made it difficult to supply horses pulling wagons. Then Sherman marched north toward Richmond, Virginia to join Grant's Army. The idea was that the two armies would join and destroy the army defending Richmond. Lee countered by giving part of his army to General Joseph E. Johnson and telling him to defeat Sherman. Instead, Lee weakened his own army. Grant attacked and Lee did not have the resources to challenge the attackers. So Lee retreated and later surrendered. General Joseph E. Johnson had realized the war was lost long before Lee surrendered. When he heard Lee surrendered, he surrendered his army to Sherman.

What role did William t sherman play during the civil war?
He was a pillar of support to Grant in the earlier campaigns, so when Grant became General-in-Chief, he rewarded Sherman with the top job in Tennessee. Later heallowed him to turn East across Georgia, even though it ran directly counter to the official war-plan.ANSWER:The major role Sherman played, and the one the South will never forget is his march from "Atlanta to the Sea." Sherman's march through Georgia began on November 15, 1864, when he left Atlanta in flames. His army, numbering about 62,000 men, would sweep over a 50 mile front across the state, with very little opposition.Advance troops scouted an area. The men that followed stripped houses, barns, and fields and destroyed everything they could not use. Sherman hoped that the horrible destruction would break the South's will to continue the war. Sherman would occupy Savannah, on December 21, 1864.From Savannah, Sherman moved north toward South Carolina. There, on the breeding ground of the Southern independence movement, his army seemed bent on revenge. They burned and looted on a scale even worse than Georgia. When Charleston surrendered, it was spared. Although Sherman tried to prevent it, Columbia, the state capital, was burned. Sherman and his troops would move on to North Carolina, and complete their mission in Virginia.

When did Sherman march to the sea?
It started at Atlanta. Sherman's march actually started in Chattanooga after the Union won control of the city in late 1863. Sherman then proceeded south to Atlanta destroying smaller towns along the way. After Sherman all but burned Atlanta to the ground he divided his company into two wings, a right wing and a left wing. The right wing which was commanded by Sherman marched towards Macon and the left wing marched toward Augusta. This tactic was used so that they would be a harder target for the enemy. The two wings stayed about 20 to 40 miles apart through the whole campaign. The right wing finally made it to Savannah, GA in late 1864 and took control of the city. Sherman then moved north into South Carolina for more fighting. Seals3434 Mary-ville College History Undergrad
