During Sherman's march to the sea he burned and destroyed a lot of Georgia's buildings and farmlands so they would be out of food and materials and would have to give up on the war in order to rebuild

C) The destruction in Georgia would be so complete that it would break the Confederacy's will to continue fighting.
