Does make one wonder about what might have happened if the Confederate Army of Tennessee had stayed in Georgia and contested the march. Again a good point in that the March to the Sea was not a forgone conclusion and one that guaranteed success. An interesting view on the March to the Sea.

Oftentimes they went their own way,trying to keep one-eye on the enemy and the other on their own self-interests.

Davis' attempt to rally demoralized and haggarded troops to the so-called "cause"---a LOST "cause". These efforts resulted in more needless deaths and physical destruction. The net gain-----NOTHING! Just more suffering!! For all ‘intents and purposes’ the War was after Vicksburg and Chattanooga fell.

It helps put to rest the false impression that Sherman's march bound to succeed. Instead, the inability of the Confederates to carry through a plan lost them the chances they did have to stop the march. Very interesting article.
