True.
General Sherman's 60 miles path of destruction, also known as the "March to the Sea," was indeed from Atlanta, Georgia to Savannah, Georgia. This military campaign took place during the American Civil War in 1864. General William Tecumseh Sherman and his Union troops embarked on a strategic and devastating march through the heart of Georgia, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. The purpose of this campaign was to cripple the Confederacy's ability to wage war by destroying infrastructure, resources, and supplies. The march covered a distance of approximately 285 miles, starting from Atlanta on November 15, 1864, and culminating in the capture of Savannah on December 21, 1864.
