The Legacy of Total War
From January to March in 1865 more than 60,000 Union soldiers led by GeneralWilliam Tecumseh Sherman marched across South Carolina. They broughttotal war to the state, destroyingrailroads, factories and farms andattacking civilian morale.
( Right side )
Sherman's march through South Carolinahelped bring the Civil War to an end. Formany Union soldiers, the march was anopportunity to punish South Carolina,widely viewed as the state that started the war.

For many white Carolinians, it left burnedhouses and farms and bred lingering bitterness. For the thousands of blackslaves who followed Sherman's army, the march brought freedom an an uncertainfuture.
