Answer:

B.) He destroyed homes and factories

Step-by-step explanation:

Like the person above said he destroyed factories. This was because he knew that the confederate had more factories and that would help them win the war. He also destroyed telephone lines which stopped the hostile army from communicating with people outside of the country for exports and other supplies :)
