Total war is the practice of harming civilians and infrastructure to weaken the enemies' war effort. It was used in the American Civil War by the Union by burning towns, farms, and homes, killing livestock, tearing up railroad tracks, and destroying supply depots. A famous example was Sherman's March, where general William T. Sherman captured Atlanta and then waged total war all the way across Georgia.
