General William Tecumseh Sherman led his troops through South Carolina during his infamous "March to the Sea" in early 1865. He aimed to cripple the Confederate war effort and morale by destroying infrastructure, supplies, and civilian property. South Carolina, being the first state to secede from the Union, faced particularly harsh treatment, with towns like Columbia suffering significant destruction. Sherman's campaign was marked by widespread devastation, which aimed to hasten the end of the Civil War.
