The object of total war was twofold: to prevent the armies in the field from receiving supplies and to convince the civilian politicians that the war could not be won. In Sherman's phrase, "To make the rebels so sick of war that they will not resort to it for generations." The union forces did so by invading the south, and destroying rail lines, manufacturing capacity, and agricultural capability. The confederate forces were then ill fed, ill clothed, and ill equipped, and anxious about events occurring back home. This led to widespread desertion, and, eventually, Lee's surrender.

The total war campaign during the American Civil War was primarily carried out by Union General William Tecumseh Sherman. His famous "March to the Sea" in 1864 exemplified this strategy, as it aimed to destroy not only Confederate military targets but also the economic infrastructure and civilian morale supporting the Confederacy. Sherman's approach was part of a broader Union strategy to break the will of the South and hasten the end of the war.

During the Peninsula campaign and after other major battles in Virginia, Union generals were very well treated. They were placed on parole and allowed to walk the streets of Richmond unguarded. This was not the case for rank and file Union prisoners who were held at Libby prison.
