The Union general who burned a path of destruction through Georgia and South Carolina was William Tecumseh Sherman. His infamous "March to the Sea" during the Civil War aimed to cripple the Confederacy's war effort by destroying infrastructure, supplies, and civilian property. Sherman's tactics were intended to demoralize Southern civilians and hasten the end of the conflict. His campaign left a lasting impact on the South and is a significant event in American military history.
General Sherman---- Sherman's March to the Sea
After he abandoned his attempt to pursue the Army of Tennessee, he turned South-East from Atlanta and crossed Georgia to Savannah, from where the Confederate General Hardee escaped across the river into South Carolina (saving the fine city of Savannah from a hammering.) Sherman soon followed him into South Carolina, the state that had started the war, and burned down the capital, Columbia. The war ended soon after Sherman crossed into North Carolina.

If you were traveling from North Carolina to Georgia, you would generally head southwest. The most direct route typically involves moving through South Carolina before entering Georgia. Depending on your starting point in North Carolina, the specific direction might vary slightly, but southwest is the overall trajectory.

Well, you have to go through Georgia, so go through Jacksonville. That's how Florida gets through Georgia every season.
