During the Civil War, Sherman served as a General in the Union army. Best known (and in the South, reviled) for his "March to the Sea" through Georgia near the end of the War, he fought in Tennessee at Shiloh and Corinth in 1862, and later in the Vicksburg campaign. In February, 1864, he passed through Meridian and Jackson, Mississippi.
