      General Sherman was a union general during the American civil war. His approach to warfare was to a bit unconventional for the time - he focused on destroying the enemy’s infrastructure and supply lines and burned down nearly everything flammable he came across. It was very effective.

        Total War.

        Everyone was fair game in Sherman’s eyes.

        There were no innocent parties for belligerents and civilians were raided for food to supply Sherman’s army.

    Because of muh freedom in the south, there were no regulations on railways. This resulted in rails that were sometimes so thin a strong man could lay a knot in them with their bare hands. Luckily the north won the war so railways in the US function perfectly now :)

      Like the march to the sea, Sherman can not be contained to just one community.
