What role did George Sherman play in Georgia?
General Sherman was ordered to take an Army from Tennessee through the heart of the Confederacy and ordered to destroy the ability of the South to continue the war. He took his forces through Atlanta and to most of the major cities of Georgia and South Carolina. His forces did not bring adequate food and basic supplies, so foraging and looting became commonplace. His forces destroyed the major railway center at Atlanta and destroyed most of the manor houses which were owned by slave owners. General Sherman's strategy was one of total war, in which every person or thing which is not for you is considered to be against you, and is then destroyed. The largest Southern Armies were in Virginia fighting Grant's advance, so most of the opposition for Sherman came from local militias and smaller formations of regular Army. Today, Sherman is remembered for unlimited devastation.
