The March to the Sea was important because it absolutely wrecked Georgia. The entire central part of the state was virtually wiped out. Factories and farms were burned, railways were destroyed, and infrastructure was ruined. This devastated the Confederate war effort, and helped hasten the end of the war.

However, it also has had a powerful negative legacy in the South, particularly in Georgia, where Sherman's name is practically a curse word.
