Sherman’s March through Georgia in 1864 was one of the most dramatic and effective moves in the [[American Civil War]], and indeed in world military history. Collaborating closely with his superior, General [[Ulysses S. Grant]] on the Virginia front, Union General [[William T. Sherman]] starting from his base in Atlanta marched across the state of Georgia to Savannah on the Atlantic coast, reaching his objective just before Christmas. There was little fighting, but moving his trimmed-down army on a wide front, Sherman systematically burned the plantations and freed the slaves, thus destroying the infrastructure of a small part of the Confederacy, and demonstrating that the Confederates were unable to defend their homes.
