General William Tecumseh Sherman was more destructive in South Carolina than in North Carolina primarily because South Carolina was the first state to secede from the Union and was viewed as the cradle of the Confederacy. His campaign aimed to punish South Carolinians for their role in starting the Civil War, leading to a more aggressive approach in that state. Additionally, by the time Sherman entered North Carolina, the Union forces had already begun to focus on consolidating their victories and minimizing destruction, rather than inflicting widespread devastation.
