aw, the old expreshion. he if famous for his "march to the sea"
This was Sherman's March to the Sea and it was lead by Major General William Tecumseh Sherman.
General Tecumseh Sherman of the Union Army advanced from Chattanooga, Tennessee to Atlanta, Georgia. After victory in Atlanta, Sherman ordered the city's evacuation and burning in November 1864.
I believe it was General Sherman's march to the sea. The march was to cut the Confederate army's supply line and their lines of communication.
As Sherman marched south to Atlanta, Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston proposed to stop him by employing a strategy of defensive maneuvers and retreating to create a stronger line of defense. Johnston aimed to avoid direct confrontation with Sherman's larger forces, instead focusing on delaying tactics and leveraging the terrain to his advantage. He planned to engage in skirmishes and use fortifications to wear down Sherman's troops while preserving his own forces for a more decisive confrontation later on.
