Sherman cut his troops off from their supply lines in Atlanta and marched to Savanna by living off the land: taking the crops which were ripe in the fields, and confiscating livestock on the hoof; as well as destroying railroad and telegraph lines , mills and anything of industrial value along the way. It was the first deployment of Total War since the days of the Mongols.
