General William T. Sherman begins his march through the Carolinas during the American Civil War on January 1, 1865 by moving north from Savannah, Georgia, into South Carolina.
The campaign was aimed to cripple the Confederacy's ability to wage war by destroying infrastructure and supplies, a strategy continuing the tactics from his "March to the Sea" through Georgia.
