The famous march of General Sherman through Georgia to the sea in the fall of 1864 was an outstanding example of strategic maneuver and surprise. Leaving his supply line, Sherman feinted against one city and attacked another, finally cutting off Lee's army in Virginia from its war resources in the South. The cooperation of the Federal eastern and western armies in a grand converging movement resulted in the evacuation of Richmond and, finally, in the surrender of Lee's army to Grant at Appomattox Court House in Virginia in April 1865.
