After Sherman's March to the Sea in late 1864, Union forces continued their campaign of destruction and warfare through the South, culminating in the capture of Savannah, Georgia. Sherman's tactics aimed to undermine the Confederate war effort by targeting infrastructure, resources, and civilian morale. Following this, he proceeded north, joining forces with General Ulysses S. Grant in the campaign against the Confederacy in the Carolinas. Ultimately, these efforts contributed to the weakening of Confederate resistance, leading to the eventual surrender of General Robert E. Lee in April 1865.
