The March to the Sea ended with the capture of Fort McAllister and the seize of Savannah GA on Dec. 13,1865.
Sherman's March, from Atlanta to Savannah, took place over about six weeks in the Autumn of 1864. It was not just a single day's event.
to end the civil war
The object of destruction during General William Tecumseh Sherman's March to the Sea was to devastate the Confederate war effort by targeting infrastructure, resources, and civilian morale. His forces aimed to destroy railroads, factories, and supply depots, as well as to confiscate food and other provisions to weaken the South's ability to sustain its armies. The campaign, which stretched from Atlanta to Savannah in late 1864, was characterized by widespread destruction, intending to demonstrate the futility of resistance and hasten the end of the Civil War.
It was a successful attempt to speed the end of the war by attacking the farms and railroads, helping to starve the troops in the field. The two states were Georgia and South Carolina.
