By trying a completely new strategy after the capture and burning of Atlanta.
After a brief and unsuccessful attempt to pursue the Army of Tennessee through the mountains, as ordered by Grant, Sherman turned South-East and laid waste to the rich farmland of Georgia, with almost no Confederate troops to stop him.
This was an attack on the infrastructure that supported the Confederacy, and it shattered civilian morale. (After endorsing the new plan, Grant said "Make Georgia howl" - and it did.)
Few could doubt that this shortened the war by months.
