Pretended offences can have serious consequences, including legal repercussions for the individual making the false accusations. It is important for authorities to thoroughly investigate any claims of pretended offences to ensure justice is served.

What did Sherman do to the state?
If you mean the State of Georgia, he did what Grant told him: "Make Georgia howl!" This was a punitive campaign of burning and looting, following a rich harvest that allowed Sherman and his army to live off the land and ignore their long and vulnerable supply-line. It was characterised by extreme and deliberate destructiveness, rather than brutality, and Sherman imposed strict punishments for offences against the person. But his army was followed by hundreds of mounted vandals ('Bummers'), along for the ride, who caused much additional misery to the wretched locals. By the time he reached Savannah and the sea, he had made his point, and was keen to repeat the performance in South Carolina, the state that had started all the trouble.
