What did General Sherman do when he marched through the south?

General William Tecumseh Sherman led his famous "March to the Sea" during the American Civil War in late 1864, where he and his troops marched from Atlanta to Savannah, Georgia. His campaign aimed to disrupt the Confederacy's war effort by destroying infrastructure, supply lines, and civilian property. Sherman's strategy of total war aimed to demoralize the Southern population and hasten the end of the conflict. His actions significantly contributed to the Union's victory, but also left a lasting legacy of devastation in the South.

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.
