Union Major General William Tecumseh Sherman's devastating campaign through Georgia from November 15 to December 21, 1864 is known as "Sherman's March to the Sea" . So called, because W.T.Sherman's goal was the port city of Savannah,Georgia .

A remarkable , and infamous to some , campaign to wage war essentially behind Confederate lines relying upon those supplies found along the line of march . He and his army conducted what we know today as a "Scorched Earth" policy where any and all resources available to the enemy (In this case , the Confederacy.) to conduct the war is destroyed/eliminated .
