Unit 5 – Civil War and Reconstruction, 1848–1877
Topic 5.9
What if President Lincoln had denied General Sherman permission for his "March to the Sea" strategy?
The Union would win faster as they would focus more on direct battles with Confederate forces rather than destroying Southern infrastructure.
More soldiers from both sides may die because of increased direct confrontations instead of strategic destructions that undermined Confederate supply lines.
The Confederacy’s ability to wage war may have been prolonged due to less damage on their infrastructure and resources.
Britain and France might be more likely to intervene on behalf of Confederacy seeing less devastating tactics by Union forces.
