General William Tecumseh Sherman led his infamous "March to the Sea" during the American Civil War, starting in November 1864. His campaign involved a scorched earth strategy, where Union troops marched from Atlanta to Savannah, Georgia, destroying military targets, infrastructure, and civilian property along the way. The intent was to undermine the Confederate war effort and morale by demonstrating the Union's ability to wage total war and bring the conflict directly to Southern civilians. Sherman's tactics significantly impacted the South's economy and contributed to the eventual Union victory.
