In this episode of Chalkboard History, hosts Eric and Willie break down Sherman’s March to the Sea, one of the most controversial campaigns of the Civil War. They explore not just what happened as Sherman’s armies left Atlanta in late 1864, but why this bold maneuver was chosen and how it fit into Union strategy to bring the war to an end.
