Sherman's March to the Sea, conducted during the American Civil War in late 1864, had a devastating impact on the South. By employing a strategy of total war, Union General William Tecumseh Sherman aimed to break the Confederate spirit and cripple its economic resources, destroying infrastructure, railroads, and supplies from Atlanta to Savannah. This campaign not only inflicted physical destruction but also demoralized Southern civilians and soldiers, contributing to the eventual collapse of the Confederacy. The march symbolized the harsh realities of war and underscored the Union's determination to achieve victory at any cost.

When a victory is referred to as Confederate it means the South won the battle.
General William Tecumseh Sherman’s Christmas gift to President Abraham Lincoln in 1864 was the capture of Savannah, Georgia. After a successful march through the South, Sherman sent a telegraph to Lincoln on December 22, 1864, announcing the city's capture and describing it as a "Christmas gift." This victory was significant for the Union's war efforts and helped boost morale during a challenging time in the Civil War.
Sherman's victories in the South, particularly his "March to the Sea," significantly weakened Confederate morale and infrastructure, contributing to the overall decline of the Confederate war effort. His tactics of total war not only devastated Southern resources but also aimed to break the spirit of the Southern populace, making them less willing to support the Confederate cause. Additionally, Sherman's success helped to secure Union control over key Southern territories, laying the groundwork for the eventual Union victory in the Civil War.
I would say that the fall of Atlanta opened the way for Sherman.
Because he had targeted civilians and smashed up the whole infrastructure of Georgia and South Carolina.
