How did General Sherman’s “March to the Sea” affect the Confederacy during the Civil War?

Sherman’s March to the Sea devastated parts of Georgia, destroying railroads, supplies, and other resources that supported the Confederate war effort. This weakened the South’s ability to keep fighting, so C, “It crippled the Confederate war effort in the wake of the destruction,” is correct. The march did not cause the Confederacy to surrender immediately; the war continued into 1865.
