What did Sherman do to the state?
If you mean the State of Georgia, he did what Grant told him: "Make Georgia howl!" This was a punitive campaign of burning and looting, following a rich harvest that allowed Sherman and his army to live off the land and ignore their long and vulnerable supply-line. It was characterised by extreme and deliberate destructiveness, rather than brutality, and Sherman imposed strict punishments for offences against the person. But his army was followed by hundreds of mounted vandals ('Bummers'), along for the ride, who caused much additional misery to the wretched locals. By the time he reached Savannah and the sea, he had made his point, and was keen to repeat the performance in South Carolina, the state that had started all the trouble.

How did the union wage total war on the south?
General Sherman was assigned this task by General Grant. This Total War started against mostly helpless farmers in the Shenandoah Valley. There were very few Confederate Troops there but it was a Highway for the Confederate Armies to move. In the late summer of 1864, Sherman and his Army burned about 2000 Civilian homes, 7000 livestock and killed everything in sight. This crippled the Confederates abilities to receive and produce supplies. From the Shenandoah Valley Sherman moved South destroying anything in his path all the way to Atlanta and Savannah Georgia. When his army finally turned back north, it destroyed everything again up until reached N.C. These tactics broke the hearts and minds of the Confederate Civilians and Soldiers.
What started the Battle of Savannah?
There was no such battle. After Sherman threatened to bombard the city, the Confederate garrison under General Hardee escaped across the river into South Carolina.

More likely, he was keen to pursue and destroy the Confederate army, as well as making punitive raids on South Carolina, the state thet started the war. In Georgia, he had made his point by then.
