The Confederates had no possibility to effectively react against the total war carried on by Sherman. The only forces they could deploy to withstand the March to the Sea were: General Wheeler's Corps of Cavalry and a division of Georgia's Militia with 3 batteries, for a total of about 10,000 men.
This situation was to ascribe to the decision of engage the Confederate Army of Tennessee in the offensive towards Memphis, which left Georgia undefended, at the mercy of Sherman's Army.
