The "March to the Sea" refers to General William Tecumseh Sherman’s campaign during the Civil War, specifically from November to December 1864.

Sherman led his troops from Atlanta, Georgia, to Savannah, employing a strategy of total war aimed at crippling the Confederacy’s resources and morale. His forces destroyed infrastructure, including railroads, crops, and supplies, creating a path of devastation. This campaign aimed to demoralize Southern civilians and hasten the end of the war. The successful march significantly contributed to the eventual Union victory and highlighted the harsh realities of wartime.
