What Union General ''march'' to sea destroyed the South?
Union General William Tecumseh's so called "March to the Sea" campaign was a"scorched earth" campaign. The main objective was to capture Atlanta. Sherman did that and many historians say that the fall of Atlanta saved President Lincoln's Republican nomination for the November 1864 election. That was due to the ever growing "peace movement" in the North. The war was taking a terrible toll on life and some Unionists wanted an end to it, which meant that Lincoln would either not get the Republican nomination or that the Democrat "peace candidate" George McClellan, former head of the Army of the Potomac might win the election. Sherman made his Southern headquarters in Atlanta for almost 8 weeks. He then finished his march to the sea to capture Savannah, a port city in Georgia. The South was not destroyed by Sherman. The war would last another 6 months, however, losing Atlanta was a strategic blow to the Confederacy.
