Answer 1

"It led General Lee to propose that slaves fighting for the Confederacy should be freed."

"It led to a sense of hopelessness among Confederate troops and precipitated their desertion."

Step-by-step explanation:

Sherman's March to the Sea was a military battle of the American Civil War directed through Georgia from November 15 until December 21, 1864, by Maj. Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman of the Union Army. The crusade started with Sherman's troops leaving the caught city of Atlanta on November 15 and finished with the catch of the port of Savannah on December 21. His powers pursued a "scorched earth" strategy, annihilating military focuses just as industry, framework, and regular citizen property and disturbing the Confederacy's economy and transportation systems. The task crushed the spirit of the Confederacy and helped lead to its inevitable surrender.

Answer 2

The correct answers are:

"It led General Lee to propose that slaves fighting for the Confederacy should be freed."

"It led to a sense of hopelessness among Confederate troops and precipitated their desertion."
