Answer:

Union General William T. Sherman never used the term of "total war" to describe his strategy in Georgia and his March to the Sea. What he did believe was that by denying the Southern army of the supplies it needed to carry on the war, all civilian supplies that might aid the enemy armies should be destroyed or confiscated. Many people believe his methods were abusive.
