Sherman's March to the Sea, conducted during the American Civil War in late 1864, had a devastating impact on the South. By employing a strategy of total war, Union General William Tecumseh Sherman aimed to break the Confederate spirit and cripple its economic resources, destroying infrastructure, railroads, and supplies from Atlanta to Savannah. This campaign not only inflicted physical destruction but also demoralized Southern civilians and soldiers, contributing to the eventual collapse of the Confederacy. The march symbolized the harsh realities of war and underscored the Union's determination to achieve victory at any cost.
