How does this verse reflect the goals of the Union

army?
So we made a thoroughfare for freedom and her train,
Sixty miles in latitude, three hundred to the main;
Treason fled before us, for resistance was in vain
While we were marching through Georgia.
Chorus:
Hurrah! Hurrah! we bring the jubilee!
Hurrah! Hurrah! the flag that makes you free!
So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea
While we were marching through Georgia.
o It references the burning of the city of Atlanta
It explains Sherman's scorched earth strategy in
detail.
o It mentions Confederate troops fleeing from Union
soldiers.
O it describes how Union troops destroyed Southern
infrastructure.
