Answer 2

The correct answer is B) Northern citizens sympathetic to the South.

Ulysess S. Grant and William T. Sherman’s strategy of total war targeted not only the Confederated Army but also Northern citizens sympathetic to the South.

Total War strategy of General William T. Sherman and his idea of the destructive psychological war destroying private and public property would make people believe that the Confederation Army was not able to protect them. Both Sherman and Grant were two of the most important strategic minds for the Union Army. After the War, in 1869, Grant became President and appointed Sherman as his Commanding in General of the U.S. Army.
