Best Answer

William T. Sherman, crossing Georgia from Atlanta to Savannah in November-December 1864.

By destroying the farms and railroads, he helped to starve the Confederate troops in the field. Also when Georgian soldiers in Lee's army in Virginia heard the news, they felt they were needed at home, and deserted in large numbers.
