Best Answer

Destruction of the farms and railroads of Georgia, to help starve the Confederates in the field. When news of the march reached Lee's army in Virginia, many Georgia-born troops felt they were needed at home, and deserted in large numbers. The march ended with the liberation of the blockade-runners' port of Savannah.
