Sherman's March to the Sea employed total war as a strategy to break the Confederacy's will to fight by targeting not only military installations but also civilian infrastructure and resources. The aim was to disrupt supply lines, diminish morale, and demonstrate the Union's overwhelming power. By destroying railroads, farms, and other assets, Sherman sought to cripple the Southern economy and hasten the end of the Civil War. This approach also aimed to psychologically impact the Southern populace, making them feel the consequences of continued resistance.
