The answer is A) They destroyed the South’s morale and captured its capital, forcing the South to surrender. They believed in ¨total war¨ and destroyed cities, and killed civilians in order to destroy confederate morale.

Hi! :)

Answer: A. They destroyed the South’s morale and captured its capital, forcing the South to surrender.

There were no specific routes, however, Sherman and Grant had targets and if they would be able to bring down their targets, it would be easier for them to take over.

They had destroyed many cities in the South so that they won’t be able to wage war because of the damages they had done in those cities.
