He is most strongly identified with his March to the Sea, for which the people of Georgia have never forgiven him.

It is ironical that he got such a name for brutality, when his march cost almost nil casualties, and shortened the war by months.

Lincoln had won re-election by this time, which meant the Confederates had no chance of winning. Sherman appealed to the Georgians to surrender, but they just wanted to show that they were not the sort of people to give up.

Carrying out punitive raids on the rich farmland of Georgia, which was the bread-basket of the Confederacy.

This shortened the war by months.
