Sherman was famous for his "March to the Sea." His intent was to cut the Confederacy in half. His men marched across Georgia, destroying all communications and railroads that could be used to transport war materials. They burned the crops and many buildings and factories to prevent them being used by the opposing forces. By denying the use to the South, they helped shorten the war.

Wreck the farms and railroads. This would help to starve the enemy troops in the field, and end the war quicker than assaults on the armies.
