Answer 1

The strategy that General William T. Sherman is representing with his aim to relentlessly pursue the Confederates and instill fear in them is known as "total war." This approach involves waging war not just against enemy armies but also against the economic resources and civilian infrastructure that support them, thereby demoralizing the enemy. So the correct response is total war.
