On the march, Sherman's army causes $100 million of damage "the South would never forget." John Bell Hood moves his forces into Tennessee, and at the Battle of Franklin clashes with Union troops under General George Thomas. https://padlet.com/cafolan/ugm2rd3jxp7v/wish/458576339 https://www.pbs.org/video/civil-war-shermans-march/]]> 2020-03-11 17:35:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cafolan/ugm2rd3jxp7v/wish/458576339 Letter from William T.

Claim- Because they frightened Georgia's civilian population into abandoning the Confederate cause.
Evidence- "I knocked daylight through Georgia, and in retreating to the s[outh] like a sensible man I gathered up some plunder and walked into this beautiful City, whilst you & Thomas gave Hood & Forest, a taste of what they have to Expect by trying to meddle with our Conquered Territory."
Reasoning- Yes, Sherman's march was very effective towards the outcome of the war because they frightened Georgia's civilian population into abandoning the Confederate cause. Sherman's troops destroyed any thing that made life comfortable for the citizens of the South and for the Confederate army to restrict the advancement of the Confederate army.]]> 2020-03-13 11:44:55 UTC https://padlet.com/cafolan/ugm2rd3jxp7v/wish/459873757 https://padlet.com/cafolan/ugm2rd3jxp7v/wish/460250068 Arriving at Atlanta, the first destination burned during Sherman's march November 15, 1864.  After burning Atlanta Sherman went through farmlands and plantations slaughtering cattle and stealing houses for his men to sleep in.  Although his march did not include a high death count like other civil war battles, it helped end the war sooner than it would have originally.

In an effort to knock some sense into the southern people an army was formed in order to massacre The South.  After Sherman went through Atlanta it left The South bleeding.  The South was not prepared in these cities because the most of the confederate Troops were in Tennessee attacking the union’s supply of food and artillery.  Sherman however was heading southeast into Savannah, GA.  Sherman and his men burned more than 3,000 buildings in the captured part of Atlanta. This destroyed the moral of the south and made production slow down rapidly.
