How many people died in the battle of sherman's march to the sea?
Less than a hundred of his own men, and not much more on the Confederate side. Civilian casualties were mostly not at the hands of Sherman's men, but the lawless mounted vandals ("Bummers") who rode alongside the army for the food and the fun.

What did William T Sherman do in the Civil War besides his march to the sea?
William T Sherman did the march to Columbia. The march to Columbia isn't as recognized as the march to the sea, but it was also very destructive. These two marches were what you call total war which is were you take things you need and destroy the rest. This was what mostly devastated the south by the end of the war.
Did Sherman burn Charlotte?
No. Sherman's march did not take him through Charlotte. He passed to the east, by way of Fayetteville and Goldsboro to Raleigh. Sherman's troops burned everything in sight in South Carolina, punishing that state for being the "cradle of secession". As soon as they crossed the state line into North Carolina they stopped this arson, to present a deliberate contrast, and mostly confined themselves to destroying military items and industries which were part of the southern war effort.
What characterizes shermans march across georgia?
Sherman's March to the Sea can be characterized by a few different things: Creative originality of Sherman in devising this entirely new brand of warfare, attacking the civilian infrastructure that supported the enemy troops in the field. Skillful camouflaging of his plans, concealing his proposed route through brilliant disinformation. Shock and horror of the civilian population at this wholehearted destruction of farms and railroads. Accusations of brutality against civilians - mostly deserved not by Sherman's men, but by the mounted vandals (mostly deserters from both sides) who rode alongside the army for the pickings. Outstanding success of the campaign, shortening the war by months at almost nil casualties. And finally... the emergence of a popular marching tune 'While we were marching through Georgia', that would be played wherever Sherman went for the rest of his life.

What did sherman's troops do while foraging liberally?
They destroyed what crops and livestock they didn't need, in order to starve the Confederate armies. Accusations of violence by Sherman's men against civilians were mainly unfounded. Such violence was committed mostly by the reckless civilian 'bummers' (including some deserters from both armies) who rode along with Sherman's troops just for the fun of joining in the vandalism - and taking it to levels not sanctioned by Sherman. Still, it is Sherman's name that has remained blackened by a few very dark deeds committed by men who were not under his command.

How did the union wage total war on the south?
General Sherman was assigned this task by General Grant. This Total War started against mostly helpless farmers in the Shenandoah Valley. There were very few Confederate Troops there but it was a Highway for the Confederate Armies to move. In the late summer of 1864, Sherman and his Army burned about 2000 Civilian homes, 7000 livestock and killed everything in sight. This crippled the Confederates abilities to receive and produce supplies. From the Shenandoah Valley Sherman moved South destroying anything in his path all the way to Atlanta and Savannah Georgia. When his army finally turned back north, it destroyed everything again up until reached N.C. These tactics broke the hearts and minds of the Confederate Civilians and Soldiers.

Who was the commanding Union general during the Battle for Atlanta and its fiery aftermath?
W.T. Sherman. Actualy its aftermath was not very fiery. The March to the Sea caused very few casualties, because there were no significant Confederate forces in Georgia. It caused great misery to local farmers, and there was also some wanton brutality, though mostly not from Sherman's own men. The worst atrocities were by mounted hooligans (Bummers) who simply went along for the ride. Savannah could have been a serious battle, but the small Confederate force under General Hardee escaped across the river into South Carolina, where Sherman soon followed them.
