Sherman's March to the Sea: A Devastating Campaign that Led to the End of the Civil War
![Jese Leos](https://specialcollections.deedeebook.com/author/gus-hayes.jpg)
William Tecumseh Sherman's March to the Sea was a brutal campaign that lasted from November 15 to December 21, 1864. It was designed to cut off the Confederate Army of Tennessee from its supplies and to destroy the economic infrastructure of Georgia. The march was a success, and it helped to bring about the end of the Civil War.
The Planning of the March
Sherman began planning the March to the Sea after his victory at the Battle of Atlanta. He knew that the Confederate Army of Tennessee was still a formidable force, but he believed that he could defeat it if he could cut off its supplies. He also knew that the Confederate economy was heavily dependent on the production of cotton in Georgia. By destroying the cotton fields, he could cripple the Confederate economy and make it more difficult for the Confederate government to continue the war.

The March
Sherman's army left Atlanta on November 15, 1864. It marched southeast through Georgia, burning and looting as it went. The army destroyed railroads, bridges, and factories. It also burned down plantations and homes. The march was a devastating blow to the Confederate economy. It also caused widespread suffering among the civilian population of Georgia.
The Aftermath of the March
Sherman's March to the Sea ended on December 21, 1864, when his army reached Savannah, Georgia. By that time, the Confederate Army of Tennessee had been defeated and the Confederate economy was in ruins. The march was a major turning point in the Civil War. It helped ensure the Union victory and it led to the end of slavery in the United States.
The Legacy of the March
Sherman's March to the Sea is a controversial topic. Some historians argue that it was a necessary evil that helped to end the Civil War. Others argue that it was a cruel and unnecessary act of violence. The march continues to be debated today by historians and Civil War enthusiasts.
Sherman's March to the Sea was a devastating campaign that had a profound impact on the Civil War. It helped to bring about the Union victory and it led to the end of slavery in the United States. The march is a controversial topic, but it is also an important part of American history.
