The Atlanta Campaign Battle Outcome

Total Warfare- During September, William T. Sherman scored 2 significant victories. Sherman wanted to burn down the Shenandoah Valley. Sherman destroyed everything he could, like barns, live stock, crops, etc. He quoted " the people of the Shenandoah Valley must be left with nothing but their eyes to weep with over the war."

Sherman's march to the sea- The Atlanta Campaign was the most destructive Campaign against the civilian population. The reason they called it Sherman's march to the sea is because Sherman marched across Georgia to the Atlantic Ocean. He wanted to show the confederate population that it's government can't protect from the invaders. He planned to destroy the South. He wanted the South to hate war, so he thought maybe it would get them to quit.
