Union General William Tecmseh Sherman's so called "March to the Sea" was a series of battles in which at least to key missions were completed. Technically speaking, the March began at Atlanta and ended in Savannah.

1. To begin at Atlanta, Sherman had to battle Confederate General Hood. At Hood's retreat, Sherman lay Atlanta to siege and captured a major railway hub and made the city his headquarters for about 2 months. He left the city "destroyed";

2. Sherman encountered resistance on his march to capture the seaport of Savannah. He continued his scorched earth policies ( as Lincoln & Grants orders ).

So, without any doubt, Sherman's march to the sea entailed multiple battles.
