What was sherman's goal in taking his army across Georgia?
He burned Atlanta after failing to destroy the Army of Tennessee, which had escaped the city. He then decided to ignore that army, and launch an entirely different kind of operation, targeting the infrastructure that supported the Confederate armies. That was the march to the sea.
His army did not destroy the south because he quit after his first battle because hew was ashamed that he lost the battle.
Lincoln was re-elected, tore up rail lines, destroyed crops, and burned/looted crops
I think Confederate because he destroyed Atlanta through Savannah and he was apart of the Confederate Army.
