	Sherman's march to the Sea - AJC
		Editor's Note: While Sherman's historic March to the Sea was not an act of God, like flood or storm, it was easily the worst disaster ever suffered by Georgia.
		Unlike whirling hurricanes or the erratic thunder of tornadoes, the march was carefully planned to cripple Georgia, a calculated roundhouse blow to the rich breadbasket of the Confederacy.
		Marching thru 40 of the state's richest counties, the Union soldiers smashed Georgia's industrial strength and demolished her east-west railroad network.

	Sherman's March to the Sea Summary
		Sherman's March to the Sea is the name commonly given to the Savannah Campaign, conducted in late 1864 by Major General William Tecumseh Sherman of the Union Army during the American Civil War.
		The March to the Sea is considered by many historians to have demonstrated Sherman's superb command of military strategy, and his commitment to destroying the Confederacy's ability to wage further war may well have hastened the end of the conflict.
		His tactics during his march to the sea and his other battles were inhumane because he had no sympathy for the people of Atlanta.

		Sherman's march to the sea was a demonstration that the Confederacy could not protect its own.
		Many agree that Sherman was too brutal and cruel during the march to the sea, but Sherman and his men were effectively demolishing the Confederate homeland, and that was all that mattered to Sherman.

		March into the Sea has nothing to do with any previous or concurrent projects the members have been invovled in, nor any political or religious motivations.
		Suddenly the seas become a condensed network of tentacles made of tar and from the ears of some other mankind, you were dragged into a bubbling undertow of sludge and slowly dragged over every jetty, rock ledge or other body-damaging object in sight.
		The fact March into the Sea comes across as a new band on this demo means that it is very hard to establish a truly smothering blanket of dejected apathy on this disc, unlike veterans and the elite of the genre.

	Boeing Expects New Sea Launch Blastoff by March 15
		The Sea Launch consortium uses a converted oil rig in the south Pacific Ocean as its launch pad, taking advantage of the Earth's relatively high rotation speed at the equator to allow heavier payloads -- up to five tons (5,080 kilograms) -- to be carried.
		"The launch is expected to be between March 11 and March 13," Eduard Kuznetsov, deputy head of the agency, told Reuters.
		Sea Launch, which also includes Norway's Kvaerner (KVI.OL) and Russia's Energiya rocket plant, has so far carried out one commercial and one test launch.

	General Sherman's March to the Sea
		This party would be despatched before daylight with a knowledge of the intended day's march and camp, would proceed on foot five or six miles from the route travelled by their brigade, and then visit every plantation and farm within range.
		The marches varied from ten to fifteen miles a day, though sometimes on extreme flanks it was necessary to make as much as twenty; but the rate of travel was regulated by the wagons; and, considering the nature of the roads, fifteen miles per day was deemed the limit.
		On the 24th we renewed the march, and I accompanied the Twentieth Corps, which took the direct road to Sandersville, which we reached simultaneously with the Fourteenth Corps, on the 26th.

	March to the Sea
		From the beginning in Chattanooga, Tennessee (Chattanooga history, Chattanooga in the Civil War) in late 1863, General William Tecumseh Sherman had a plan to "march to the sea".
		Skirmishing, when it happened on the March to the Sea, was a somewhat louder and constant sound, still significantly quieter than the dun of battle.
		In the North, the only information on the March to the Sea came from the Southern Press, which claimed Sherman had been trapped in Atlanta and now was beating a hasty retreat to the safety of the Georgia coast, where Union vessels awaited the commander with food and munitions.

	The March to the Sea and Beyond: Sherman's Troops in the Savannah and Carolinas Campaigns
		Instead of being just another narrative of the March to the Sea and Carolina campaigns, however, Glatthaar's book is a look at the individuals that composed the army.
		The value of this book lies in its helping the reader understand that the war was fought by individuals, not masses of blue and gray, and that these individuals felt and thought a great deal about the cause they were engaged in.
		The March to the Sea, coming on the heels of the devastating fall of Atlanta was the straw that broke the South's back.

	2006 March \| Sea Isle City Reflections
		Sea Isle City has a lot of properties for sale, and I believe the reason is because people panic over what they hear from the media.
		Many owners of properties that would have normally not been ready to sell are now putting their properties on the market because the media states that the bubble has busted and the real estate market is in for a bad time.
		We would pack up about 3pm to head home, all red as lobsters (suntan lotion was not used back then-we used iodine and baby oil to enhance those dangerous rays to burn our skin) except my mom who kept covered as she was fair skinned, freckled, and red haired.

		Their way to the sea and their ultimate goal is barred not only by jungle, swamp, weird wildlife and local politics, but also by a wandering barbarian horde known as the Boman.
		This fast-paced sequel to March Upcountry continues the odyssey of men and women caught in a struggle for survival and determined to maintain their courage and humor in the face of overwhelming odds.
		Having said that, March To the Sea has presented fewer opportunities for those two Dreaded Words to be used, and a second author to moderate their use that much more.

		During the march itself, which took off at November 12, his army, 60.000 men strong, would live off the land, thereby terrorizing Southern civilians and leaving a path of destruction: houses, mills and crops were burnt and railroads were destroyed.
		Since the March to the Sea was now completed, Sherman and his army advanced into South Carolina where he combined his army with that of General Grant, bringing more devastation to the Confederate States.

	"Virtual March" launched against sea-polluting Australian mining firm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The Lafayette mine was penalized and ordered to stop last year after two mine spills released cyanide and other contaminants into the sea around the island, causing massive fish kills.
		Subsequent investigations by a Presidential Fact-finding Committee in April-May 2006 revealed admissions from Lafayette officials that the company had been mining beyond its capacity even while the structural safeguards meant to minimize environmental damage were not yet completed.
		Residents have since reported more fish kills in creeks leading out from the mine into the sea, but so far, aside from dismissing the incidents as results of "sabotage," there has been no active and convincing response on the part of the company and the government to verify and explain these reports.

	War between the States - Sherman's March to the Sea
		Of all things, the most important is, that the men, during marches and in camp, keep their places and do not scatter about as stragglers or foragers, to be picked up by a hostile people in detail.
		The habitual order of march will be, wherever practicable, by four roads, as nearly parallel as possible, and converging at points hereafter to be indicated in orders.
		Soldiers must not enter the dwellings of the inhabitants, or commit any trespass; but, during a halt or camp, they may be permitted to gather turnips, potatoes, and other vegetables, and to drive in stock in sight of their camp.

	Battery B, 4th U.S. Light Artillery - Sherman's March to the Sea
		After nearly four months of masterful campaigning, Union MG William Tecumseh Sherman and his massive western army group marched triumphantly into "fairly won" Atlanta on 2 September 1864.
		Now that the "Gate City of the South" was secured, it was time to either eliminate the threat still posed by the Confederacy's major western army, the Army of Tennessee (38,000 men - GEN John Bell Hood, commanding) or continue to ravage Georgia's war resources during a risky march to the sea.
		Deeming it strategically futile to continue to pursue the elusive Hood, now operating north and west of Atlanta, Sherman sent the Army of the Cumberland (commanded by MG George H. Thomas - the "Rock of Chickamauga") to the Federal base at Nashville, TN.

		Tracing a line of march between Macon and Augusta, he carved a sixty-mile wide swath of destruction in the Confederacy's heartland.
		The only forces the Confederacy could bring to oppose him was Wheeler's cavalry and a motley collection of militia and over and under-aged reserves of perhaps 14,000 troops; certainly no match for the 62,000 Union veterans Sherman had kept with him upon leaving Atlanta.
		His army marched in two large columns under the command of Howard and Slocum.
