Question

An examination would reveal which of the following as a consequence of Sherman’s March to the Sea?(1 point)

Most Union troops obeyed Sherman’s orders. Some did not, however. “Bummers” were Union troops who scared and stole from ordinary Confederate citizens against orders.

Sherman wanted to hide his final destination from the Confederacy. To do this, he divided his army into two groups. One headed toward Augusta, the other toward Macon.

Its devastation denied the Confederacy access to a former major industrial and agricultural region. This affected the Confederacy’s ability to keep its military running, which led to its surrender.

In Milledgeville, Sherman’s troops held a fake legislative session where the Union troops voted to repeal Georgia’s secession order.

Answer 1

Its devastation denied the Confederacy access to a former major industrial and agricultural region. This affected the Confederacy’s ability to keep its military running, which led to its surrender.

Explanation: Sherman's March employed "hard war" tactics — destroying railroads, supply sources, and crops — which crippled Southern logistics and morale and materially weakened the Confederate war effort.
