    There are obviously a lot of items there for which, as a teacher, I might like to provide details. I'll keep it short and select just the first one. The question and response give you little detail - - just "Sherman" and "march of destruction."

    General William Tecumseh Sherman was a key leader for the Union Army. Sherman's "March to the Sea" (in November/December 1864) was a march of a fighting force of around 60,000 men, going from Atlanta to Savannah, Georgia (a distance of 285 miles). It was intended as a show of force, to intimidate. If people tried to resist them or fight back as they marched through the region, Sherman's troops burned their houses and barns.

    In addition to intimidation, Sherman also believed that the destruction caused by his march would effectively divide the South in two. Sherman's plan was to create a wedge through the middle of Confederate territory as a way of damaging the South's capability to continue the war.
