Sherman's Atlanta Campaign/March to the Sea

The Atlanta Campaign was a series of battles from NorthWest Georgia, to Atlanta.  Sherman was opposed by Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston, but was forced to retreat by Sherman's flanking tactics.  The Union's plan was to capture and destroy Atlanta, one of the Confederate's most important cities at the time.

Sherman's march to the sea is a name given to Sherman's Savanna campaign.  This was to start from the captured city of Atlanta, all the way down to Savanna.  Sherman's army destroyed anything that might have value to the south like food, factories, farms, and much civilian property.
