Total War is most identified with Sherman, whose punitive raids across Georgia and South Carolina clearly shortened the conflict by months at minimal casualties.
Grant had already put the same thing into practice when he told Phil Sheridan to devastate the Shenandoah Valley - also rich farming country.
The policy was to attack the civilian infrastructure that underpinned the Confederacy, wreck their economy, and starve the Confederate troops in the field.
