Sherman's March to the Sea is the name commonly given to the Savannah Campaign, conducted in late 1864 by Major General William Tecumseh Sherman of the Union Army during the American Civil War. The campaign began with General Sherman's troops leaving the captured city of Atlanta, Georgia, on November 15, 1864, and ended with the capture of the port of Savannah on December 22.
Sherman's march followed his successful Atlanta Campaign of May to September 1864. He and U.S. Army commander Ulysses S. Grant believed that the Civil War would end only if the Confederacy's strategic, economic, and psychological capacity for warfare were decisively broken. Sherman therefore applied the principles of scorched earth, ordering his troops to burn crops, kill livestock, consume supplies, and destroy civilian infrastructure along their path.

Sherman marched 210 miles east from Atlanta to Savannah.

Answer 2

The north ought to have eventually received, because the south became so weakened. The march did help provide the superb blow to the south and ended the warfare a lot quicker than the way it ought to've ended with huge-spread warfare. in case you're quite in contact, you should study the radical Sherman's March by Cynthia Bass.

Answer 3

What?

It would be hard for a satellite to take pictures of something from 140 years ago, since they didn't exist at that time.

I doubt that many traces are still visible. Maybe a few siege earth works and trenches here and there, and the occasional plantation, factory or bridge that was burned and never rebuilt.

No.
