Best Answer

To demonstrate to everybody that the Confederacy was on its last legs.

To punish Georgia (and then South Carolina) for quitting the USA.

To attack civilian morale - the underpinning of the Southern war effort.

To devastate the rich farmland, and bring the Confederate army closer to starvation.
