gets to the James River. If he gets there, it

question of time. Lee, June 1864 to Jubal Early

the South, but we can make war so terrible and
make them so sick of war that generations will
pass away before they again appeal to it.

Decides to live off the land

• 1. Sherman can cut his supply line and move his
  army faster.
• 2. Taking supplies from civilians inflicts
  terror on the civilian population. Union Army
  burns what they cannot consume.

Effect of Shermans Terror

• 1. Proves to Confederate citizens that their
  government is incapable of protecting them.
• 2. Increases the desertion rate of the
  Confederate Army as soldiers go home to protect
  their families.
