Best Answer

Immediate - Shock-and-awe on the part of the locals as he carried out punitive raids on farms and railroads all the way from Atlanta to Savannah. (Grant told him "Make Georgia howl!")

Medium-term - Destruction of Confederate communications and food-supply, so the armies are soon barefoot and starving, bringing surrender within months.

Long-term - Desperate poverty in Georgia, romanticising of the Lost Cause, and Sherman's absolute loathing for that certain tune ("As we were marching through Georgia") that was played wherever he went for the rest of his life.
