General William Tecumseh Sherman ordered the burning of infrastructure and supplies during his March to the Sea in 1864 to disrupt the Confederate war effort and diminish their resources. This strategy, known as "total war," aimed to weaken the morale of both the Confederate army and civilian population by demonstrating the devastating consequences of the war. By destroying railroads, warehouses, and crops, Sherman's forces sought to hasten the end of the conflict by crippling the South's ability to sustain its military operations.
