What states did Sherman go through in Sherman's March?

General Sherman's "March to the Sea" began in Atlanta after the fall in July 1864. He broke his line of communication (i.e. Supply) and advanced across Georgia to Savannah.

After a battle at Savannah, he then advanced due North into South Carolina The city of Atlanta was evacuated 1 September 1864 and was occupied by Union forces (Army of the Cumberland and the Army of the Tennessee) the following day. Sherman stockpiled supplies in that city for 2 months, then burned anything of military value (locomotive works, warehouses etc). The March to the Sea began on 15 November 1864, passing through the capital of Georgia (Milledgeville) and continuing to the coast (Savannah).

Savannah was evacuated without a struggle, although there was a small action at Fort McAlister which reestablished Sherman's lines of communication with the United States Navy. After resupplying his Army Sherman continued the March through South Carolina taking Columbia in February and then into North Carolina, clashing with Confederates at Bentonville in late March of 1865. Both sides stopped near the present city of Durham North Carolina until the Surrender of Johnston's Western Army on 23 April 1865.

However the March was not over, for Sherman's forces continued on foot to Washington City (DC) to March in the Grand Review in May of 1865 Sherman's forces had marched through Georgia,South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and the District of Columbia, in 7 months, the longest forced march by an Army in the history of the New World.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
