Hello! This is my (unfinished) user page. I am new to Wikipedia, so I might (or will) make some mistakes, and any help would be much appreciated. Similar user pages in arabic (الّلغة العربيّة) and French (La langue Français) about me will be made in a bit (although just don't expect them to be mistake free!). New develpoments will come soon as I learn more Wiki Markup. That's all!

Sherman's March to the Sea
Sherman's March to the Sea was a military campaign of the American Civil War conducted through Georgia by Major General William Tecumseh Sherman of the Union army. The campaign began on November 15, 1864, 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.
