When General William Tecumseh Sherman and his army entered North Carolina, they continued their strategy of total war, which involved disrupting the Confederacy's infrastructure and resources. While they aimed to minimize unnecessary destruction, their presence often led to the confiscation of supplies and livestock. Many citizens faced hardships due to the army's foraging practices, but there were also instances where Sherman's men provided aid to those in need, reflecting a complex relationship with the local population. Overall, the treatment of citizens varied, with some experiencing significant disruption and others receiving assistance.

North Carolina and South Carolina
North Carolina has mountains, flatlands, oceanfront (beaches) and is also the site of one of the first English settlements that just disappeared and was never seen or heard of again. Was it called Roanoke Island? (not sure)

During his march from Atlanta to Raleigh, General William Tecumseh Sherman traveled through Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina.

North Carolina
On March 11, 1865, Major General William T. Sherman's army occupied Fayetteville, North Carolina. The US Civil War was in its closing days at the time.
North Carolina was invaded from the South by Union Army General William Tecumseh Sherman in February of 1865.
General William Tecumseh Sherman was more destructive in South Carolina than in North Carolina primarily because South Carolina was the first state to secede from the Union and was viewed as the cradle of the Confederacy. His campaign aimed to punish South Carolinians for their role in starting the Civil War, leading to a more aggressive approach in that state. Additionally, by the time Sherman entered North Carolina, the Union forces had already begun to focus on consolidating their victories and minimizing destruction, rather than inflicting widespread devastation.
All states in America have senators. Each state has 2 senators that represent the citizens of North Carolina in the United States Senate.
the Great Wagon Road traveled the Appalachian Valley from Pennsylvania to North Carolina where some colonist continued on to Georgia.
After the Battle of Atlanta, Gen Sherman began his march from there and advanced across Georgia and ended at Savannah. He then turned north and marched through South Carolina and into North Carolina.
After he abandoned his attempt to pursue the Army of Tennessee, he turned South-East from Atlanta and crossed Georgia to Savannah, from where the Confederate General Hardee escaped across the river into South Carolina (saving the fine city of Savannah from a hammering.) Sherman soon followed him into South Carolina, the state that had started the war, and burned down the capital, Columbia. The war ended soon after Sherman crossed into North Carolina.
