I think Confederate because he destroyed Atlanta through Savannah and he was apart of the Confederate Army.
He pursued Lee's army in Virginia while pushing through the deep south to Atlanta and the Atlantic coast...It also helped Lincoln to get re-elected.
Freed slaves followed the march of Sherman's army through Georgia.
South Carolina was viewed as a prime target because they were the first state to secede from the Union.
Sherman's march-proper was from Atlanta to Savannah, all of it in Georgia, where he found he could live off the land and thankfully ignore his long supply-line. Before that, he'd been pursuing the Army of Tennessee from their positions near the Tennessee-Georgia border. Afterwards, he crossed the river and moved through the Carolinas before finally taking Joe Johnston's surrender.
