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.

Is there a diffrence between genocide and massacre, why?
postnew [5]

Answer:

Explanation:

Genocide: <em>the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group</em>:
Massacre: <em>an indiscriminate and brutal slaughter of people</em>

Basically, genocide means killing the entire human race, massacre means killing a small group of people, like enough to fill a mall.
Don't get any ideas please.
