Answer: To destroy the South's will to continue fighting the war.

Context/explanation:

General Sherman's "March to the Sea" 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.  They did not burn everything in sight, but did burn the houses and barns of any people who tried to resist them or fight back.

In addition to intimidation, Sherman also believed that the destruction caused by his march would effectively divide the South in two.  As described by William Stroock, writing for the Warfare History Network (December 31, 2018): "Sherman’s grand idea ... He felt that from Atlanta he could march to the sea and rip out the heart of the Confederacy. The march would create a dead zone that split the Confederacy in two."

From November 15 until December 21, 1864, Union General William T. Sherman led some 60,000 soldiers on a 285-mile march from Atlanta to Savannah, Georgia. The purpose of this “March to the Sea” was to frighten Georgia's civilian population into abandoning the Confederate cause.

What marked the end of the Russian monarchy
jeka57 [31]
The main event that ended the Russian monarchy was the February Revolution. It was a spontaneous demonstration against the Tsar's government which turned riotous and spread to many other cities. The Tsar tried to order police and military forces to put down the riots, but they refused to obey him. In fact, many soldiers even joined in the riots. 

Tsar Nicholas realized that the only way to end the violence was to abdicate his throne. He signed the abdication papers in March 1917 ending 300 years of the Romanov monarchy. The Provisional Government was instituted to govern the country until a Constituent Assembly could be seated, but the Provisional Government was overthrown in the October Revolution also known as the Bolshevik Revolution. The Bolshevik Revolution is not the revolution which ended the Russian monarchy, because the monarchy had already ended 8 months earlier.

<span>In addition, the Tsar and his family were not killed during the Russian Revolution. They were kiled by the Bolsheviks during the Russian Civil War in July 1918, nine months after the October Revolution had ended.</span>
