Скачать или смотреть Sherman’s 275-Mile March That Changed the Civil War

In November 1864, Major General William Tecumseh Sherman launched one of the most daring and controversial campaigns of the American Civil War, marching 62,000 Union soldiers from Atlanta to Savannah through the heart of Georgia. Dividing his army into two wings, Sherman used deception, speed, and relentless foraging to cripple Confederate infrastructure while avoiding major battles. Along the way, railroads were destroyed, supplies seized, and the South’s economic backbone was shattered, leaving a wide path of devastation known as total war. Despite harassment from Confederate cavalry and scattered resistance, the Union army advanced steadily across swamps, rivers, and hostile territory. Tragic moments like Ebenezer Creek and brutal reprisals highlighted the harsh human cost of the campaign. After a 275-mile march in just 36 days, Sherman captured Savannah in December 1864 and famously presented it to President Lincoln as a Christmas gift, delivering a strategic blow that crippled the Confederacy and changed the course of the war.
