'''William Tecumseh Sherman''' was a Union [[Civil War]] [[general]] known for his daring and aggressive military tactics. His "scorched earth" policy of total warfare was designed to ensure the economic, strategic, and psychological collapse of the [[Confederacy]] by destroying civilian infrastructure and supplies.
Notable campaigns in which Sherman was involved were [[Vicksburg]], [[Tennessee]], the siege of [[Atlanta]], his [[March to the Sea]] from Atlanta to [[Savannah]], and the eventual surrender of all Confederate armies in [[Florida]], [[Georgia]], and the [[Carolina]]s.
