This original complete single sheet Confederate Civil War newspaper contains a front page headline: "THE FIGHTING IN THE SOUTH" with a full column of text on the front page with coverage of Union General SHERMAN'S MARCH THROUGH GEORGIA from Atlanta to Savannah, also known as Sherman's March to the Sea. Sherman's March to the Sea (also known as the Savannah campaign or simply Sherman's March) was a military campaign of the American Civil War conducted through Georgia from November 15 until December 21, 1864, by William Tecumseh Sherman, major general of the Union Army. The campaign began on November 15 with Sherman's troops leaving Atlanta, recently taken by Union forces, and ended with the capture of the port of Savannah on December 21. His forces followed a "scorched earth" policy, destroying military targets as well as industry, infrastructure, and civilian property, disrupting the Confederacy's economy and transportation networks. The operation debilitated the Confederacy and helped lead to its eventual surrender. Sherman's decision to operate deep within enemy territory without supply lines was unusual for its time, and the campaign is regarded by some historians as an early example of modern warfare or total war.Following the March to the Sea, Sherman's army headed north for the Carolinas Campaign. The portion of this march through South Carolina was even more destructive than the Savannah campaign, since Sherman and his men harbored much ill-will for that state's part in bringing on the start of the Civil War; the following portion, through North Carolina, was less so. This Confederate Civil War newspaper is complete as a single sheet issue. The single sheet newspaper format was used by many Southern newspapers due to the scarcity of paper in the South during the Civil War. This lack of paper was a result of the South being cut off from their normal paper supplies, previously obtained from the Northern paper mills.Most Confederate Civil War newspapers lack bold single column headlines as were common in Northern newspapers; however, the defiant prose found in Southern newspapers more than makes up for the lack of headlines ! Confederate Civil War newspapers are much scarcer, and much more in demand with collectors than Northern newspapers.Good condition. Some toning and some short edge paper tears.
