37 Weeks
Week 36 (December 22nd - December 28th)
Episode 36 | 1m 45s
In seven months, Sherman has broken both the South’s industry and its will to wage war.
It is the final week of 1864. Atlanta, the South’s industrial hub, is decimated, the damage totaling nearly $100 million in 1864 dollars. Forcing on the Confederacy “the hard hand of war,” Sherman proves the South cannot be protected; public confidence in the Confederate government collapses. Sherman’s final blow is to lead his army through South Carolina and beyond, the heartland of secession.
