Question 17 • Mad 2017 Phy Sci B -33 SS
Sherman’s army used a scorched-earth campaign through Georgia, taking or destroying resources that could support the Confederacy. Many farmers lost cattle and mules, and the army took wagons full of food. Enslaved people also fled to freedom, so farmers lost the labor they had been forcing them to provide. The march did not make farms more profitable, and farmers destroying their own farms is not one of the effects described.
