D. Sherman moved through Georgia’s central region where railroads and flat land allowed his army to travel quickly and disrupt Confederate supply lines.

His route from Atlanta to Savannah cut through interior Georgia, taking advantage of relatively flat terrain and the network of roads and railroads so his forces could move rapidly and destroy Confederate rail lines, bridges, and supply centers.
