How did the “March to the Sea” affect the Confederacy during the Civil War?

During the 1864 March to the Sea, Union forces under General Sherman destroyed railroads, supplies, and other infrastructure as they moved through Georgia. This weakened the Confederacy’s ability to support its armies and continue fighting, contributing to the war’s end. It did not cause an immediate surrender, so choice D is correct.
