Actually, if you read Sherman's letters it wasn't about military strategy, it was about the South needing to be "taught a lesson" and in a letter to his wife, he said his purpose was the "extermination, not of soldiers alone...but of the people" He ordered his men to shoot civilians randomly and wrote about allowing his men to rape red, black and white women.

Nope, it wasn't a military strategy. Sherman was on sick puppy!

Bev, that was primarily military strategy to ensure that supplies were
not available to the opposition. We did it in Viet Nam.
