General William shermans orders were to?

Answer 1

to burn Georgia from Atlanta to the sea. He cut a wide swath from Atlanta to St. Augustine, burning everything in his path, including cattle, garden food, which of course prevented the lone women left there from having food. He destroyed everything in his path so that there would be nothing left for the southern women, alone and in need.

Sherman said at one point, "War is hell." He apparently did his part to make that statement a truism.

Answer 2

...destroy the Army of Tennessee.

He did not succeed in doing this. But his alternative strategy of attacking the civilian infrastructure that supported the Confederate armies in the field probably ended the war quicker.
