General Sherman marched his army from Chattanooga toward?
Atlanta. This was not meant to be his objective. Grant had simply told him to destroy the Army of Tennessee, but he had not managed to achieve this. Meanwhile it was election year, and Lincoln needed some victories in a hurry. So Sherman took Atlanta, and the North felt a bit less war-weary.
What role did William t sherman play during the civil war?
He was a pillar of support to Grant in the earlier campaigns, so when Grant became General-in-Chief, he rewarded Sherman with the top job in Tennessee. Later heallowed him to turn East across Georgia, even though it ran directly counter to the official war-plan.ANSWER:The major role Sherman played, and the one the South will never forget is his march from "Atlanta to the Sea." Sherman's march through Georgia began on November 15, 1864, when he left Atlanta in flames. His army, numbering about 62,000 men, would sweep over a 50 mile front across the state, with very little opposition.Advance troops scouted an area. The men that followed stripped houses, barns, and fields and destroyed everything they could not use. Sherman hoped that the horrible destruction would break the South's will to continue the war. Sherman would occupy Savannah, on December 21, 1864.From Savannah, Sherman moved north toward South Carolina. There, on the breeding ground of the Southern independence movement, his army seemed bent on revenge. They burned and looted on a scale even worse than Georgia. When Charleston surrendered, it was spared. Although Sherman tried to prevent it, Columbia, the state capital, was burned. Sherman and his troops would move on to North Carolina, and complete their mission in Virginia.
