Just one week after President Abraham Lincoln was re-elected in November 1864, Union General William Tecumseh Sherman set out to execute one of the most audacious plans of the US Civil War. 

His plan involved violating several central tenets of warfare, which had been established for thousands of years, yet in the process, he helped bring the war to a swift conclusion. 

In hindsight, many people consider what he did to have been a war crime.

Learn more about Sherman’s March to the Sea and how it affected the outcome of the US Civil War on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
