Why did the war start with the Sherman's March to the Sea?
The war did not start with Sherman's march to the sea. That march was the innovative idea that helped to bring the war to its end. Contrary to Grant's plan, Sherman decided to ignore the army he had been ordered to destroy, cut free from his supply-line, and live off the land - rich Georgia farmland, which he then set out to wreck, partly to punish the civilians for joining a war against the USA, and partly to help starve the Confederate armies. Fortunately Sherman carried enough credibility with Grant to get this plan approved.
Did Sherman's strategy for his march to the sea influence both the military and civilians?
On the March to the Sea in late 1864, Sherman's troops often discovered that the Georgian civilians didn't like the war, and were often cooperative with the Yankees. They blamed the war on South Carolina, which they said had dragged them into the conflict, and told Sherman they hoped he'd go burn down Charleston and Columbia. "All in good time," the General replied (more or less). Governor Brown of Georgia didn't like the war either, and withheld most of his state militia from the Confederate army. When Sherman got to Savannah, he treated the citizens very well, and many were grateful to be spared further conflict.

Many southern newspapers characterized Sherman as a reincarnation of Atlila the Hun Why?
That is an insult to ole Atilla. Sherman's March to the Sea was known for it cruelty to the civilian population. Sherman believed that if you carry the war to the civilians, this will cause them to loose their will to fight and the support of the troops. However, (seriously) many of the attrocities attributed to Sherman were carried out by individual soldiers. Sherman left Atlanta on his march to Savannah without support. His army was cut off and on its own. His soldiers had to scrounge for food and many of them stole from local farmers and war widows. This characterized Atilla's method of defeating his enemy.
