Martin PengellyGUEST
I always wanted to do it.
Martin PengellyGUEST
I always have to stop myself doing headlines if he's playing like, I don't know, Sherman's March to the Sea, if he's going to the coast to play a game.
Martin PengellyGUEST
because I'm a history nut as well.
Huw GriffinHOST
Yeah, it would be an easy one to do.
Mike MooreHOST
You understand? So bringing this guy in to ruin the GOP, he's the perfect guy.
Mike MooreHOST
He's the Sherman's March to the Sea.
Mike MooreHOST
Scorched earth.
Mike MooreHOST
So it makes a lot of sense.
Hayden DanielHOST
My men are going to live off the land.
Hayden DanielHOST
And this sets the stage for the infamous March to the Sea where Sherman – And his men march through Georgia and live off the land by requisitioning supplies and food and whatever else his men require from the local Southern populace.
Hayden DanielHOST
And of course, most Southerners and certainly most Georgians who know the story are quite embittered by the march to the sea.
Hayden DanielHOST
But again, that is an episode for a different time.
Hayden DanielHOST
Sherman was also confident that Union troops in Tennessee, under the command of George Thomas, who, if you may remember, is the Union hero of Chickamauga, so he's a very accomplished commander, could deal with Hood's depleted and demoralized army on his own.
FNHNARRATOR
The operations on the South Atlantic coast, which long seemed merely a subordinate and incidental part of the great contest, proved to be one of the final pivots on which it turned.
FNHNARRATOR
Now all admit that the fate of the Confederacy was decided by Sherman's march to the sea.
FNHNARRATOR
Port Royal was the objective point to which he marched, and he found the department of the South when he reached it, held almost exclusively by colored troops.
FNHNARRATOR
Next to the merit of those who made the march was that of those who held the open door.
John ViscardoHOST
Yeah, I think that's a great point.
John ViscardoHOST
You have Sherman's March to the Sea.
John ViscardoHOST
I think that's 1864.
John ViscardoHOST
And he mentions, you know, war is all hell.
John ViscardoHOST
And then things started to change for them.
Timothy SmithGUEST
Yeah.
Timothy SmithGUEST
I have a chapter on Sherman's March to the Sea in the new book, and Sherman is a Jominian through and through.
Timothy SmithGUEST
He wants to have the secure supply bases, lines of operation, objective points, all that kind of stuff.

One of the most important military campaigns of the American Civil War was fought in northwestern Georgia during the spring and summer of 1864 between northern forces under Major General William T. Sherman and and confederates commanded first by general joseph e johnston and then by general john b hood this campaign resulted in the capture of atlanta by the unionists prepared the way for sherman's march to the sea and in the opinion of many historians made inevitable the re-election of Abraham Lincoln and the consequent determination of the North to see the war through to a final victory rather than accept a compromise with succession and slavery.

Carl JonesGUEST
I mean, that was, uh, that was, especially in the Western hemisphere, that was taboo as it came.
Carl JonesGUEST
Uh, but they intentionally starved out, uh, Southern civilians, um, not just on Sherman's March to the Sea.
Carl JonesGUEST
That's the one that gets all the attention.
Carl JonesGUEST
But it started with Sheridan going through the Shenandoah Valley.
Mike SmithHOST
Um, Now, if you're in a total war sort of scenario, maybe you don't really care about war crimes anymore.
Mike SmithHOST
This is kind of like Sherman's March to the Sea, etc.

But at least in a Sherman's March to the Sea sort of thing, you're talking about actually occupying the land.
Mike SmithHOST

Mike SmithHOST
They've been incapable of doing that, and so now they're just committing crimes.
