Was Sherman's march north or south?

Sherman's March to the Sea was South-east, across Georgia.

This was opposite direction to where Grant had ordered him - North-west into Tennessee, to destroy the Confederate army under John Hood.

But Sherman did not think he could win battles in mountain country, with such a long and vulnerable supply-line. The March to the Sea enabled him to forget about his supply-line, as he was able to live off the land.
