Explanation

During Sherman’s March to the Sea in 1864, Union soldiers moved from Atlanta toward Savannah, Georgia, destroying railroads, crops, and other property to weaken the Confederacy’s ability to keep fighting. They did not travel from Savannah to Atlanta, and the campaign was known for targeting civilian resources as well as military ones. Therefore, the correct choice is “destroyed buildings, railroads, and crops.”
