Between the period of November 15 to December 21 in year 1864, Union general William T. Sherman led around 60,000 soldiers to a march which was 285 miles long which begun from Atlanta and ended in Savannah in Georgia. The idea behind this march was to frighten the population of Georgia as they wanted people of Georgia to abandon the confederate cause. The soldiers from the Sherman’s army did not destroy any of the towns which came in their way to Georgia but instead they stole food as well as livestock of the people and burned their houses and also killed people who tried to fight back. The military which was led by German Sherman captured Atlanta and that was considered as important win for their movement as during that period of time Atlanta was considered as a Railroad hub along with that it was known as industrial center. Sherman believed that the railroads of Atlanta provided material and support to the Confederate troops and in order to stop this supply his army destroyed railroad lines.
