Ulysses S. Grant gave this order to Philip Sheridan regarding the burning of the Shenandoah Valley at the end of the Civil War.
William T. Sherman in Georgia and South Carolina. Phil Sheridan had also been doing something like this in the Shenandoah Valley - on the orders of U.S. Grant.
By attacking the infrastructure that supported the armies in the field. On Grant's orders, Sheridan set about destroying the rich farmland of the Shenandoah Valley. A little later, Sherman persuaded Grant that he ought to do the same thing in Georgia, including much destruction of the railroads. Sure enough, the Confederate troops who eventually surrendered were found to be barefoot and starving.
A competent Union General who got on badly with Phil Sheridan, who fired him in the very last days of the war at Appomattox. The act was controversial, as it gave Warren a dishonourable discharge, which was not overturned till many years after the war. The charge against Warren was that he had failed to bring reinforcements to Sheridan as quickly as he should have done. The court eventually ruled that Warren was having to follow confusing orders, had to cross difficult terrain at night, and that very little blame attached to him. Reading Sheridan's memoirs, between the lines, we can detect that it was very much a personal feud between the two officers.
army orders are like rules but their serious and you have too folllow them no matter what you can easily get kicked out the army without following orders. army orders are like rules but their serious and you have too folllow them no matter what you can easily get kicked out the army without following orders.

Grant's orders to General Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley were to destroy all of the food and supplies that he could find and to drive the Confederates under General Early out of the valley. Sheridan followed Grant's orders. He destroyed the provisions in the valley and defeated the Confederate force that was using it as a base of operations.

The outward signs of holy orders are the laying on of hands and prayer by the bishop. This sacrament grants the ordained person the grace to serve as a deacon, priest, or bishop in the Church.
I assume this means Sherman in Georgia and Sheridan in the Shenandoah. Sherman's campaign was far more orderly than it has been given credit for. The orders were to destroy farms in order to starve the Confederate armies in the field. Assaults on the person were strictly forbidden, and where these occurred, it was usually at the hands of the lawless mounted "bummers", who followed the army just for the fun of it. This 'March to the Sea' undoubtedly hastened the end of the war, at minimal bloodshed. Why it earned Sherman such a reputation for brutality is not clear. In the Shenandoah, things were a little uglier. A lot of guerrilla fighters were picking-off Union troops, and reprisals were frequent. But the net result was the same - Confederate armies that were barefoot and starving by the time of the surrender.
During the sacrament of Holy Orders, a man is consecrated and ordained as a bishop, priest, or deacon by a bishop. This sacrament grants the individual the authority to perform sacred duties within the Church, such as administering the sacraments and leading the faithful in prayer and worship.
When Grant was appointed General-in-Chief in March 1864, he appointed Phil Sheridan to clear the Confederates out of the Shenandoah Valley and destroy the farms in this prime agricultural area. Near the end of the war, he was summoned down to the Petersburg area to help finish-off Lee. He controversially sacked General G.K. Warren for slow, reluctant response to his orders in the last day or two before the surrender. Some said this was unnecessary at such a late stage, when nothing was at stake. But there was bad blood between the two officers.
