Question 2 • RS AZ-US History A

Which of the following campaigns were fought using the total war strategy?

Answer
A
Shenandoah Valley Campaign
B
Sherman’s March to the Sea
C
Siege of Petersburg

Explanation

The Shenandoah Valley Campaign and Sherman’s March to the Sea used total-war tactics by targeting resources that supported the enemy’s ability to fight. In the Shenandoah Valley, Union forces destroyed crops and mills; Sherman’s troops also damaged supplies and infrastructure as they marched through Georgia. The Siege of Petersburg was primarily a conventional military siege, so it is not the best choice.
