Burn the farms, wreck the railroads, but no violence to civilians.

When violence did happen, it was usually not at the hands of Sherman's troops. It was carried out by lawless mounted vandals (including deserters from both sides), who rode alongside the army for the fun, and the pickings.

What caused Union General William S Rosencrans to delay his advance on Confederate General Bragg in Tennessee?

Union General William S. Rosencrans was a conservative general. He had delayed orders from Washington DC to advance on the Southern army led by General Braxton Bragg. Part of the delay was due to the fact that his supply line, the Louisville and Nashville railway was constantly under assault by Confederate guerrilla raids. These raids, and others similar to it were an important part of the US Civil War.
