From January 1863, when Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation became operative, Union troops were told to rob the enemy of his chattels, especially his slaves.

From March 1864, when Grant became General-in-Chief, the policy was to devastate the best farmland in the South, in order to reduce the Confederate armies to starvation.
