Explanation:

The Sherman's March to the Sea was a military strategy plan led by the General William Tecumseh German (military leader of the Union) in 1864 during the Civil War with the purpose of taking control of some of the territory of the Confederates (Southern states) and especially of the Savannah Port located in Georgia. This military campaign began on November 15th of 1864 with the capture of the city of Atlanta, Georgia and ended when the Union soldiers led by Tecumseh take control of the Savannah Port on December 21st of the same year. Additionally, during this campaign, the Union army destroyed the infrastructure of the places they captured, including those that belong to the civilians as the Union believed in this way they could weaken the Confederacy. Considering this, it can be concluded this military strategy or campaign was possible as the Union captured the city of Atlanta.
