Why was general shermans army so harsh as it marched through South Carolina?
Because it was attacking the civilian infrastructure that supported the Confederate troops in the field. The sooner the South surrendered, the sooner the campaign would stop. Georgia had quit the United States in an arrogant spirit, with dancing in the streets, and now Grant had told Sherman to "Make Georgia howl". Naturally it looked harsh when the armies had been told to blow-up railroads and burn down farms. But violence against civilians had been strictly banned, and when this did happen, it was usually carried out not by Sherman's men, but by the lawless mounted vandals (mostly deserters from both sides) who rode alongside the army for the pickings and the fun. (Addition by same respondent) Sorry, I thought you meant Georgia. When they crossed into South Carolina, they put boot in, because S.C. had been the first state to secede. They were the ones who had started all the trouble. (They had done even more dancing in the streets.)
What were the turning points of the battle of Atlanta?
The Battle of Ezra Church July 28, 1864 whose favourable outcome, allowed the investment of Atlanta also from its western side by Union Army of the Ohio, forcing Hood to extend the entrenchments south of the city up to about 10 kilometers to cover the Atlanta-Montgomery railroad and stop the Federal advance. Hood, decided to fight back by sending half of his cavalry under General Wheeler to interrupt the railroad Atlanta-Chattanooga, vital for supplies of Sherman, thus depriving himself of his best cavalry units to monitor the movements of the enemy. Sherman took the opportunity to organize a great undetected outflanking movement of Confederate defensive line that led the armies of the Union to cut the railway Montgomery-Atlanta and at Jonesborough, the Atlanta-Macon, thereby isolating Hood's forces from the rest of the Confederacy. To avoid being besieged in the city and forced sooner or later to surrender Hood decided to evacuate Atlanta.

What were the beliefs of Union General William T Sherman on combat in the US Civil War?
Union General William T. Sherman was horrified by the bloody and often indecisive nature of the war's battles. Sherman instead, emphasized maneuver and the destruction of the South's ability and willingness to continue the war. This he believed was better then major assaults on the battlefield. He believed that if the South's population became weary of its losses, the sooner the war would end. With that in mind, Sherman preferred raids into Southern territory and destroying supplies and transportation facilities, railroads, and other resources the Southern armies needed to continue the war.

Was the total war civil war humane or unhumane?
Sherman's March to the Sea shortened the war by many months, at almost nil casualties, so it must be judged humane. It caused a lot of suffering among civilians, but Sherman pointed out that their war was lost anyway (Lincoln had just been re-elected) and the sooner they surrendered, the sooner Congress would send humanitarian aid. Any sufferings anywhere in the Southern states after this point may be judged self-inflicted.
