Major General William T. Sherman's strategy as he invaded the South was to destroy or capture any type of supplies that could aid the Confederate armies. He confiscated civilian livestock and destroyed civilian farmlands. His goal was to deny the Confederate armies of the supplies it needed to carry on the war. Sherman has been criticized for his strategy which brought on much hardship to Southern civilians.
