Few scholars appreciate the importance of William T. Sherman's Meridian expedition in the scheme of the Civil War, and the general American public has an inaccurate image of him and his warfare. During February and March 1864 in Mississippi, Sherman first attempted to use hard war on a large scale, and his expedition had a long-term impact on the outcome of the war.

520 $a Few scholars appreciate the importance of William T. Sherman's Meridian expedition in the scheme of the Civil War, and the general American public has an inaccurate image of him and his warfare. During February and March 1864 in Mississippi, Sherman first attempted to use hard war on a large scale, and his expedition had a long-term impact on the outcome of the war.
520 $a Using a variety of contemporary sources, this dissertation analyzes the significance of the Meridian campaign on several levels—its immediate impact on the war and its participants, on Mississippi's inhabitants, and on Sherman in his first major attempt at hard war. The short-term consequences of the expedition, although substantial, proved far less important than the role of the campaign in the shaping of Sherman's distinctive type of warfare. The new combination of tactics that the Union general used for the first time in Mississippi led the way to their application on a wider scale later, playing a key role in ending the war.
520 $a Sherman used his experiences in Mississippi and the knowledge he gained from them for the rest of the war. He became famous for his style of destructive war, and many scholars argue that his activities significantly shortened the duration of the conflict. Few, however, note the fact that Sherman placed the finishing touches on this style of warfare as his army marched across the Magnolia State from February to March 1864. It was his dress rehearsal for the hard war that he was to practice in Georgia and the Carolinas
