Sherman's March to the Sea, conducted by Union General William Tecumseh Sherman during the American Civil War in late 1864, was devastating because it aimed to cripple the Confederate war effort by destroying infrastructure and resources. The campaign involved a wide swath of destruction across Georgia, targeting railroads, factories, and civilian property, which aimed to break the will of the Southern population. This strategy of total war not only aimed to diminish the Confederacy's military capabilities but also sought to demoralize its citizens, contributing to the eventual Union victory. The march left a lasting impact on the South, highlighting the brutal realities of war.
