During his March to the Sea in 1864, General William Tecumseh Sherman’s troops created a path of destruction that was approximately 60 miles wide. This campaign aimed to disrupt the Confederacy's war effort by destroying infrastructure, supplies, and morale. Sherman's strategy involved not only engaging enemy forces but also devastating civilian property, which he believed would hasten the end of the war. The extensive damage inflicted during this march left a lasting impact on the South.
