The correct answer is William T. Sherman.

Sherman was responsible for marching troops through the heart of the traitorous Southern States and for capturing Atlanta.

Sherman's March to the Sea was brilliant in that he burned the South as he went while also dodging the Southern Army. He knew that his job was to destroy the Southern economy and was not concerned with fighting the traitorous rebel army.
