Was Georgia a confederate state in the civil war?
Georgia was a Confederate State in the US Civil War. It's largest city, Atlanta, became a main target of General Sherman.
Why was Sherman's march to the sea important to the union war effort because?
The March to the Sea was important because it absolutely wrecked Georgia. The entire central part of the state was virtually wiped out. Factories and farms were burned, railways were destroyed, and infrastructure was ruined. This devastated the Confederate war effort, and helped hasten the end of the war. However, it also has had a powerful negative legacy in the South, particularly in Georgia, where Sherman's name is practically a curse word.
What state does William T Sherman led a devastating march through this state?
General Sherman's "March to the Sea" began in Atlanta after the fall in July 1864. He broke his line of communication (i.e. supply) and advanced across Georgia to Savannah. After a battle at Savannah, he then advanced due North into South Carolina. The city of Atlanta was evacuated 1 September 1864 and was occupied by Union forces (Army of the Cumberland and the Army of the Tennessee) the following day. Sherman stockpiled supplies in that city for 2 months, then burned anything of military value (locomotive works, warehouses etc). The March to the Sea began on 15 November 1864, passing through the capital of Georgia (Milledgeville) and continuing to the coast (Savannah). Savannah was evacuated without a struggle, although there was a small action at Fort McAlister which reestablished Sherman's lines of communication with the United States Navy. After resupplying his Army Sherman continued the March through South Carolina taking Columbia in February and then into North Carolina, clashing with Confederates at Bentonville in late March of 1865. Both sides stopped near the present city of Durham North Carolina until the Surrender of Johnston's Western Army on 23 April 1865. However the March was not over, for Sherman's forces continued on foot to Washington City (DC) to March in the Grand Review in May of 1865. Sherman's forces had marched through Georgia,South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and the District of Columbia, in 7 months, the longest forced march by an Army in the history of the New World.

What state did shermans march begin?
Sherman's march-proper was from Atlanta to Savannah, all of it in Georgia, where he found he could live off the land and thankfully ignore his long supply-line.

Afterwards, he crossed the river and moved through the Carolinas before finally taking Joe Johnston's surrender.
