Sherman's Atlanta Campaign was a military campaign during the American Civil War, led by Union General William Tecumseh Sherman in 1864, aimed at capturing the Confederate city of Atlanta, which was a vital supply hub. After successfully seizing Atlanta in September 1864, Sherman initiated his infamous "March to the Sea," where he led his troops across Georgia to Savannah, employing a strategy of total war to destroy infrastructure and civilian resources to weaken the Confederate war effort. This brutal campaign aimed to demoralize the South and hasten the end of the war. Sherman's tactics of destruction and psychological warfare were pivotal in undermining Confederate morale and contributed significantly to the Union's eventual victory.
