For the first time in the war, the campaign was part of a coordinated Union general offensive against the
Confederacy, which put in motion both western and northeastern fronts.
Its task was that to reach the sea at Savannah, and then
take from the rear the so called "Atlantic Fortress".
Taking advantage from the weak resistance they met, due to the impossibility for the Confederates to send reinforcements from Virginia's front,
the Federals applied the tactic of "Total War", destroying farms, mills, railroads, bridges and other civilian and military infrastructures for a strip of 50 kilometres along which they were advancing.
