Answer 2

A) break the spirits of Confederate citizens.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the main purposes of General William T. Sherman's "March to the Sea" was to break the spirits of Confederate citizens. The General wanted to frighten the residents of Georgia so that they would give up their fight. This march involved stealing food and livestock and burning houses and barns. It took 60,000 soldiers on a 285-mile march from Atlanta to Savannah.
