The total war campaign during the American Civil War was primarily carried out by Union General William Tecumseh Sherman. His famous "March to the Sea" in 1864 exemplified this strategy, as it aimed to destroy not only Confederate military targets but also the economic infrastructure and civilian morale supporting the Confederacy. Sherman's approach was part of a broader Union strategy to break the will of the South and hasten the end of the war.

Third age total war?

Third age total war is a mod (moderation) for medieval 2 total war kingdoms. If you are a fan of the lord of the rings trilogy and you like the real time strategy the creative accembly offer then you will really enjoy it. There is also the lord of the rings total war which is basically the same but in the style of Rome total war (but it has no fellowship campaign, as third age total war does). The choice is yours which mod you download. Personally, I would go for third age total war because it has the fellowship campaign which is very good. Also, the actual film itself is set in medieval culture. I hope this helps in some way, cya!
