The state most famously burned by General William Tecumseh Sherman and his army during the American Civil War is Georgia. Sherman's "March to the Sea" in late 1864 involved a campaign of total war, where his troops destroyed military targets, infrastructure, and civilian property to undermine the Confederate war effort. The city of Atlanta was particularly devastated, and Sherman's tactics aimed to demoralize the South and hasten the end of the war.
