Sherman’s+March+to+the+Sea


 * Major People:** Major General William Tecumseh Sherman
 * Where did it happen:** Started in Atlanta, Georgia and ended in the Port of Savannah
 * What led to the battle:** General Sherman and the Union Army wanted the South to surrender
 * What happened:** Sherman and the Union Army destroyed everything in their path. They ruined crops, railroads, houses, and civilian properties. Their plan was to destory everything so that when the South would retreat back to their land, they would have nothing there.

Sherman’s March to the Sea, like many other battles of the Civil War, had a lasting impression on American History. This event in history took a more extreme approach than the other events of the Civil War. Although there weren’t many causalities, the result of the march was devastating to the South. Unlike the other events in the Civil War, Sherman's March to the Sea's lasting impression was not so civil. The severity of the Union army's actions towards supplies, infrastructure, and homes, make the lasting impression an emotional one for Southerners. Not only did the Northerners leave their fatal mark on Southern territory, but the South had a difficult time recovering from the lasting effects which they will remember forever.
