Correct answer: destroyed buildings, railroads, and crops.
Brief explanations:
- The march went from Atlanta to Savannah (not Savannah to Atlanta).
- Sherman’s troops did not fight many large battlefield engagements on the way; the campaign relied on maneuver, skirmishes, and foraging rather than major pitched battles.
- While the campaign aimed to destroy the Confederacy’s ability to wage war (railroads, supplies, infrastructure), it deliberately targeted civilian property as well to break Southern morale, so it was not limited to “mostly military resources.”
