Sherman's March to the sea
While Grant and Sherman were trying to capture Richmond, he sent Sherman to the south to clear it out. He destroyed everything in his path, and then headed to Savannah Georgia on the coast. Then headed north to North and South Carolina. This was the last major blow to the South. The Union Army one this battle. “Grant stood by me when I was crazy, and I stood by him when he was drunk, and now we stand by each other.”
