Sherman’s March to the Sea is the name often given to the Savannah Campaign conducted by Major General William Sherman in 1864. Sherman’s troops began their 300-mile march on November 15th, destroying railroad track, telegraph lines, infrastructure and industry all the way from Atlanta to Savannah, Georgia. Since his Army would be cut off from traditional supply lines, Sherman had designated groups of men responsible for foraging food and supplies from farms. While very controversial, Sherman’s methods proved to effectively break the South’s ability to wage war against the Union.
