and caused widespread fear and panic among the population. Confederate forces in the state were weakened as they had to divert troops to defend against Sherman's advance. The destruction caused by the march led to a significant economic setback for Georgia as it relied heavily on agriculture, particularly cotton production.

Overall, Sherman's march to the sea had a detrimental impact on the state of Georgia.
