What kind of war could general sherman declare?

William Tecumseh Sherman began his Civil War career as a Colonel of the 13th US Infantry Regiment and ended his career as the Commanding General of the United States army. He is best known for you actions in the Civil War, where his performance was mixed. Still, his March to the Sea in 1864 was a success in its goal to cripple the Confederate's ability to wage war. His brutal and devastating method of waging war ("Hard War" he called it) remains controversial to this day.


What was the Union general who captured Atlanta and marched to the sea?

None. Grant had become General-in-Chief, and he was not interested in capturing cities, only in destroying armies. His orders to Sherman were to destroy the Army of Tennessee, wherever it was, and chase it into the mountains if necessary. Sherman had not succeeded in doing this, but when that army took refuge in Atlanta, Sherman decided to occupy the city, even though the enemy managed to escape. One reason was that the capture of Atlanta would make big news in the North, and it was the kind of morale-raising victory that would help Lincoln win the upcoming election. The other was that Sherman was figuring out a way to get free of his over-long supply-line, that was always being attacked by Confederate cavalry. Noting that the rich Georgia farmland had enjoyed a good harvest, he realised that he could live off the land, forget his supply-line, and meanwhile conduct punitive raids on the farms that helped to victual the Confederates in the field. That is when he planned his March to the Sea.

What is special about William Tecumseh Sherman?

He was at a disadvantage at the beginning of the Civil War, as his service during the Mexican War had been at a desk in Washington. And his new strategy (The March to the Sea) was the opposite of what Grant had ordered. It was in fact an entirely new kind of warfare, attacking the infrastructure that supported the enemy in the field - chiefly burning farms and wrecking railroads. This gave him an image of brutality, yet people forget that he shortened the war by many months at a cost of almost nil casualties.
