Sherman's March was the first modern example of total war. Total war is psychological warfare that not only attacks the Confederate troops, but damages the property and citizens are included as well. He damaged many roads, railroads, and took from farmers' crops while marching onward to Savannah, Georgia from Atlanta, Georgia. He laid a long stretch of waste behind him, but it was considered a victory.

Sherman's March to the Sea during the American Civil War is often considered the first modern example of total war. It was a strategic military campaign that aimed to destroy the South's infrastructure and demoralize its population. Sherman's army deliberately targeted civilian resources, including homes, crops, and livestock, bringing the devastation of war directly to the civilian population. This approach set a precedent for future conflicts, where civilian populations and infrastructure became legitimate targets.
