    General William Tecumseh Sherman led his troops on a march from Atlanta to Savannah, Georgia in late 1864. The purpose of Sherman's March to the Sea was to crush Confederate support by destroying railroads, provisions, and other transportation. Along the way, Sherman's troops destroyed crops, burned buildings, and took supplies. By the time Sherman captured Savannah on December 21, 1864, his troops had cut a wide path of destruction across Georgia and helped hasten the end of the Civil War.
