General Sherman is well known for Sherman's march. Which is where he and his soldiers marched from Savannah to the coast and burned everything on their way there.
Ten officers and ninety-three men. (Not counting wounded, missing or captured.)
That is an insult to ole Atilla. Sherman's March to the Sea was known for it cruelty to the civilian population. Sherman believed that if you carry the war to the civilians, this will cause them to loose their will to fight and the support of the troops. However, (seriously) many of the attrocities attributed to Sherman were carried out by individual soldiers. Sherman left Atlanta on his march to Savannah without support. His army was cut off and on its own. His soldiers had to scrounge for food and many of them stole from local farmers and war widows. This characterized Atilla's method of defeating his enemy.
A 1955 study of the sixty-mile area from Covington to Milledgeville found that of seventy-two houses built before Sherman's march, twenty-two were still standing in 1955; nine others had been torn down after the Civil War" (Soldiers Passion for Order, 551)
