You probably mean Sherman and his March to the Sea.
His supply-line was too long and vulnerable to support a campaign in difficult mountain country, which is what Grant had ordered.
So he decided he could live off the land in Georgia, and lay waste to the infrastructure that supported the Confederates in the field.
The March to the Sea is reckoned to have shortened the war by six months, at almost nil casualties.
