Who led to the March of the Sea?
This seems like a US Civil War question as the phrase "March of or to the Sea" is commonly used for Union forces led by US General William Tecumseh Sherman under the overall commander of the Army of the Potomac, General Uylsses S. Grant. This march (a scorched earth type ) led to the Battle of Atlanta. What is frequently overlooked was that the main Union force used in taking Atlanta was the Army of Tennessee under Maj. General James B. McPherson. On August 31, 1865, Sherman's army captured the Macon, Georgia railway track which was a supply line to Atlanta. On September 2, 1865 the city of Atlanta formally surrendered to Sherman. Most of the "March" was a battle that began and followed the railway between Chattanooga Tennessee against Confederate General Johnston and ended in Marietta, Georgia. This was a point southeast of the captured City of Atlanta. Sherman stayed in Atlanta for 2 months, burned it to the ground, and carried on to the east. The end of the March to the Sea thus ended to the Southeast in the port city of Savannah.
