Where was Sherman's March to the Sea battled at?
There were no battles, to speak of. Sherman used deception tactics to conceal his route from the few Confederate units in Georgia, and the two sides were never properly engaged. When he reached Savannah, he was expecting a battle with the small Confederate army under General Hardee, but they escaped across the river into South Carolina. It was the civilian infrastructure that Sherman was attacking - burning crops and tearing up railroads to wreck the Southern economy and starve the enemy troops in the field.
What caused Union General William Sooy Smith's failure to meet General Sherman in Meridian in 1863?
Union Major General William T. Sherman's plan to raid Merdian, Mississippi succeeded in February of 1863 despite the planned combination cavalry forces led by General William Sooy Smith's. Smith's forces of 7,000 troopers and 20 cannon were to leave Memphis Tennessee on February 5th but he was unable to march until the following day, February 6, 1863. As he traveled southward towards Okolona, Smith was surprised by the attack from Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest. Smith was unable to turn back Forrest's assault and began to retreat. Forrest pursued and Smith had no choice but to return to Memphis, having never combined with Sherman's army. Sherman sent troops to try and locate Smith's cavalry, and had no idea that Smith had been attacked by Forrest and retreated back to Memphis. Still, even without the help of General Smith, Sherman conducted a successful raid on Meridian and after destroying railways and a Confederate arsenal, he marched his troops back to Vicksburg.
