Exactly what he did; retreat slowly, destroying all food supplies in the path of the French; let him enter Moscow and then destroy that; and then wait for General Winter and General Hunger to finish the job for you.
The destructive march across Georgia led by General William Tecumseh Sherman is known as Sherman's March to the Sea. It took place during the American Civil War in late 1864, where Sherman and his Union troops traveled from Atlanta to Savannah, employing a strategy of total war. They aimed to cripple the Confederate war effort by destroying infrastructure, supply lines, and civilian property. This campaign significantly weakened the Confederacy and demonstrated the Union's military might while also impacting Southern morale.

What was sherman's goal in taking his army across Georgia?
A campaign of punitive raids across Georgia that wrecked farms and railroads, destroying civilian morale, and helping to starve the Confederate troops in the field. It shortened the war by months at almost nil casualties. Some historians have called it the first example of Total War, and Sherman has been called the first modern General.
