The March to the Sea was the campaign of total war waged by General William Tecumseh Sherman following the capture and burning of Atlanta.

Quotable William T. Sherman 

 

War is cruelty. There is no use trying to reform it.
The crueler it is, the sooner it will be over.”

 

 

“I would make this war as severe as possible, and show 
no symptoms of tiring till the South begs for mercy.”

Sherman's forces destroyed military targets as well as industry, infrastructure, and civilian property. Military historian David J. Eicher wrote that Sherman "defied military principles by operating deep within enemy territory and without lines of supply or communication. He destroyed much of the South's physical and psychological capacity to wage war.” 

 

After the capture of Savannah, Sherman and his forces rested and then continued their march up the coast through the Carolina's. His march in the Carolina's ended when Sherman accepted the surrender of Confederate General Joseph Johnston on April 26 1865.

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

The Atlanta Flames were a professional ice hockey team (NHL) based in Atlanta, Georgia from 1972 until 1980.  The franchise was named the Flames in homage to the burning of Atlanta by U.S. Army general William Sherman during the American Civil War.

 

 


 

The Columbus Blue Jackets are a professional ice hockey team based in Columbus, Ohio.  The Blue Jackets' name and logos are inspired by Ohio's Civil War history. Ohio raised nearly 320,000 soldiers for the Union army, third behind only New York and Pennsylvania in total manpower contributed to the military and the highest per capita of any Union state. Several leading generals were from Ohio, including Ulysses S. Grant, William T. Sherman, and Philip H. Sheridan. Five Ohio-born Civil War officers would later serve as the President of the United States.
