The march from Atlanta to Savannah that resulted in the destruction of buildings, farmland, and homes was led by Union General William Tecumseh Sherman during the American Civil War. This campaign, known as Sherman's March to the Sea, took place in late 1864 and aimed to weaken the Confederate war effort by targeting infrastructure and civilian property. Sherman's tactics of total war sought to demoralize the South and hasten the end of the conflict.
