Sherman's March to the Sea can be characterized by a few different things:
Creative originality of Sherman in devising this entirely new brand of warfare, attacking the civilian infrastructure that supported the enemy troops in the field.
Skillful camouflaging of his plans, concealing his proposed route through brilliant disinformation.
Shock and Horror of the civilian population at this wholehearted destruction of farms and railroads.
Accusations of brutality against civilians - mostly deserved not by Sherman's men, but by the mounted vandals (mostly deserters from both sides) who rode alongside the army for the pickings.
Outstanding success of the campaign, shortening the war by months at almost nil casualties.
And finally... the emergence of a popular marching tune 'While we were marching through Georgia', that would be played wherever Sherman went for the rest of his life.
