“We have devoured the land and our animals eat up the wheat and cornfields close. All the people retire before us and desolation is behind. To realize what war is one should follow our tracks.” - Maj. General William Tecumseh Sherman
Sherman’s March to the Sea was the name given to the American Civil War campaign from November 15th until December 21st, 1864 that concluded Union operations in the Confederate state of Georgia.
On this episode, The Hungry Historian will go over the actions of Union Maj. Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman after seizing Atlanta, including his famed "scorched-earth" policy, which intended to cripple the South’s war-making capacity and wound their psyche.
As a featured recipe, Chef Money is coming by to drop off his grandmother Sherman's spin on a classic side dish that's perfect to accompany any festive holiday meal.
You'll come to hear about Sherman’s March to the Sea, but stay for Sherman's March to the Sweet Potato Pie.
Cheers!
