The March to the Sea was a punitive raid on the rich farmland of Georgia, that would enable Sherman's army to live off the land and forget about defending their long and vulnerable supply-line. They also wrecked the railroads, to ruin the Southern economy and destroy civilian morale.

The route was from Atlanta to Savannah, and it took about five weeks.
