What was William shermans destructive campaign through the south called?
Union Major General William Tecumseh Sherman's devastating campaign through Georgia from November 15 to December 21, 1864 is known as "Sherman's March to the Sea" . So called, because W.T.Sherman's goal was the port city of Savannah,Georgia .A remarkable , and infamous to some , campaign to wage war essentially behind Confederate lines relying upon those supplies found along the line of march . He and his army conducted what we know today as a "Scorched Earth" policy where any and all resources available to the enemy (In this case , the Confederacy.) to conduct the war is destroyed/eliminated .
What is William t shermans height?
If he topped 5'8" it would surprise me... I would venture 5'6" with a 31" waist. Likely a slender, whipcord, banty rooster of a man. In that era, 6 feet was a giant.
What were two consequences of William shermans victory in the south?
Liberation of the blockade-runners' favourite port of Savannah. Wrecking of farms and railroads, which helped to bring Confederate troops in the field to the level of starvation that triggered the surrender.
What offers the best reasoning behind William Tecumseh shermans strategy of using total war to defeat the south?
Sherman's March to the Sea shortened the war by at least six months, at almost nil casualties.
