Sherman's war strategy was what he called "hard war" or total war. This is where the goal is to destroy or cut off most valuable resources. In this, he would almost entirely destroy properties. Scorched earth tactics were used and communications, transportation, and food sources were cut off from an area. Civilian supplies were captured or destroyed along with their infrastructure. A lot of times the civilians themselves were killed as well.
