Sherman's "March to the Sea"
The March to the Sea
Sherman's March to the Sea was so destructive because it was not planned well and most people died.
William T Sherman did the march to Columbia. The march to Columbia isn't as recognized as the march to the sea, but it was also very destructive. These two marches were what you call total war which is were you take things you need and destroy the rest. This was what mostly devastated the south by the end of the war.
After the Battle of Atlanta, Gen Sherman began his march from there and advanced across Georgia and ended at Savannah. He then turned north and marched through South Carolina and into North Carolina.
