By destroying all the farms and railroads in his path, Sherman helped to wreck the Southern economy and starve the Confederate troops in the field.

Eventually he liberated the blockade-runners' port of Savannah, which prevented South from improting war supplies.

Sherman's strategy shortened the war by months, at almost nil casualties.
