To End the Civil War

In 1864, the American Civil War has been raging for three years. General William Tecumseh Sherman has an Army of 60,000 Union soldiers and a plan to march 650 miles in less than 100 marching days, through the heart of the Confederacy to wage a campaign to destroy the south's war making ability. General Sherman plans to burn and plunder from Atlanta to Savannah, crippling the south's economy. The second intent is wage psychological warfare against the civilian population and break the will to support the south's secession movement. General Sherman, Grant and President Lincoln are searching for the final blow to bring the war to its conclusion. The campaign will terrorize the civilians of Georgia and South Carolina and will immortalize General Sherman as the "Father of Total War." Prior to the campaign, Sherman proclaimed "I will make Georgia howl!" He was true to his word.
