English

William Tecumseh Sherman (February 8, 1820 – February 14, 1891) was a prominent Union general during the American Civil War. He was renowned for his bold strategies and tactics, most notably the "March to the Sea" and the burning of Atlanta. Born in Ohio, Sherman graduated from West Point and served in the Mexican-American War. With the outbreak of the Civil War, he rose to prominence in the Union Army, participating in several crucial battles. His most famous campaign was the Atlanta Campaign, culminating in the capture of Atlanta and the subsequent destruction of the city, known as "Sherman's March to the Sea". While controversial, this action significantly demoralized the Confederate army and hastened the war's end. Sherman's military skill and strategic vision are widely acknowledged; his "March to the Sea" is a classic case study in military history and a turning point in the Civil War. After the war, he served as the Commanding General of the United States Army and contributed to the modernization of the US Army. Sherman remains a highly controversial figure; his military actions were devastating but had a profound impact on the outcome of the war. His life and military theories remain important for understanding the American Civil War and military strategy.
