	New Georgia Encyclopedia: Sherman's March to the Sea
		The March to the Sea, the Civil War's most destructive campaign against a civilian population, began in Atlanta on November 15, 1864, and concluded in Savannah on December 21, 1864.
		After the march Davis was soundly criticized by the Northern press, but Sherman backed his commander by pointing out that Davis had done what was militarily necessary.
		By marching through Georgia and South Carolina he became an archvillain in the South and a hero in the North.

	"Marching Through Georgia with Father Bannon" by Irving A. Greenfield (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The stop at this particular town, Galton, Georgia, was not prompted by any military necessity, but rather by the need for fresh water, a plumber to unclog the toilets, and the hope that fresh food could be bought, which would provide a welcome relief from C-rations and Spam.
		That the North Koreans probably didn’t know where Georgia was, and they most certainly didn’t know where the train was because none of the men knew, other than it was in a place called Galton and that to them meant it was nowhere.
		Through all of these exchanges were conducted in loud vices, Father Bannon continued with the Mass.

		Georgia remained part of the Soviet Union until its collapse in 1991, when Georgia declared its independence and sought closer ties to the West.
		Georgia tolerated Russian assistance as a facilitator for negotiations and its military presence as peacekeepers.
		Georgia also might have seen an opportunity to gain the support of the United States, which was looking for allies in its global war on terrorism.

		Georgians, including Democrats, tend to be uncompromisingly patriotic, with strong views on defense, what remains of their wilderness and hunting rights, stable families, moderate taxation, and support for business and small farms.
		He was, however, astute enough to realize he could never win the Democratic nomination in Georgia, let alone the election, by flaunting his convictions.
		The morning after the election was a gloomy time, lightened only by the word from Georgia; neither Coverdell nor Fowler had won a majority (there had been a third-party candidate who snared 3 per cent of the vote), and so, under Georgia law, a runoff was required.

	BookPage Review: Marching Through Georgia: My Walk with Sherman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Although the stated intention was to cut Confederate supply lines, Sherman's march had much broader repercussions: it served as a valuable political tool in Abraham Lincoln's reelection campaign; it soured the South's appetite for the war; and it left a jagged dueling scar across the face of the Old South.
		At the heart of Marching Through Georgia lie some of the most pervasive stereotypes, ones of which Ellis is undeniably proud: a Southerner's love of mother, wife, and homeland.
		Through it all, Ellis redefines for himself and for his readers the importance of history, humor, love, home, and family.

		The march to Corinth is discussed in far more detail than the battle itself and casualties are barely mentioned.

		As the Army advances into Georgia he describes the dalliance between northern soldiers and southern belles, much to the annoyance of the local male population.

		"Georgia" was written shortly after General Sherman began his famous march to the sea about the 16th of November, 1864.
		Work wrote some splendid army songs, but his reputation will rest on "Marching Through Georgia." So universal in its use was "Georgia" that General Sherman heard it with supreme disgust.
		His patience collapsed, and with a grim gravity, peculiar to him, and in language too emphatic for repetition here, he declared that he would never attend another national encampment until every band in the United States has signed an agreement not to play "Marching Through Georgia" in his presence.

		The action concentrates on a small detachment of Draka paratroopers who capture "Village One", a hamlet high on a pass through the Caucasus between Draka-held Armenia and German-held Georgia, choke point for a strategic highway through the mountain range.
		This is not the work of solitary madmen, but a whole society with iron determination, utterly ruthless, frighteningly rational, and bound to succeed.
		Much of the novel is seen through the eyes of the Draka, making for a a very fascinating and frightening read.

	"Marching Through Georgia"
		Brass band music, however, is more appropriate, since it is a marching song.
		The heroes are former Confederates, who cut short the singing of "Marching" with their own singing of "Dixie." A fight ensues, and the nasty "blue bellies" are put in their place.
		I suspect that the Georgia Libertarian Party in general has no love for General German, the March, or the North; but, if they thought better of it, this would bring the song up to date for them in the best way.

		Marching Through Georgia is Work's best known composition.
		It was written as a song in honour of Maj. General Sherman's famous march from "Atlanta to Sea" during the American Civil War in 1864 with 65.000 men which divided the Confederate forces.
		A dignified affair which the recorder tenor and bass sonorities bring out perfectly, a gentle contrast to the more strident, jazzier versions.

		With his 110,000 troops he was under orders to "get into the interior of the enemy's country," striking without mercy, "inflicting all the damage you can." Waiting for him on Rocky Face Ridge, the "Georgia Gibraltar," was Joseph E. Johnston, a skillful defensive strategist, with 65,000 Confederates.
		The story of Sherman's famous Atlanta campaign and March to the Sea will unfold as never before in this one-of-a-kind tour — a step-by-step portrayal of the final, fatal thrust into the heart of the Confederacy by the man who came to personify total war.
		We then begin Sherman's March to the Sea, stopping at the battle sites of Sunshine Church and Griswoldsville, and touring the beautiful antebellum city of Macon.
