Answer 1

Economic Infrastructure

Answer 2

C. economic infrastructure

Step-by-step explanation:

Like Grant, Sherman was convinced that the strategic, economic, and psychological ability of the Confederation to sustain the war had to be definitively destroyed in order for the struggle to come to an end. In this way, he thought that the Union had to lead the campaign as a war of conquest and use scorched earth tactics to break the back of the Confederation.
