The Total War strategy of Sherman in hid March to the Sea and Sheridan in his Shenandoah Campaign greatly hastened the collapse of the South by destroying the means by which the civilian economy supported the military. It eliminated the South's supplies (food, clothing, arms, ammunition), transportation, communications, and manufacturing capability, leading to the demoralization of southern troops and civilians, and a complete collapse of the southern economy.
