The wartime strategy represented by General William T. Sherman's idea of relentlessly pursuing the Confederates and instilling fear is total war. Total war involves not just engaging enemy forces in battle, but also targeting resources, infrastructure, and civilian morale to diminish the enemy's capacity and will to fight.
