William Tecumseh Sherman served as a general in the Union Army during the American Civil War (1861–1865), achieving recognition for his command of military strategy as well as criticism for the harshness of the scorched earth policies that he implemented against the Confederate States. In 1864, Sherman succeeded Grant as the Union commander in the Western Theater. He led the capture of the strategic city of Atlanta, a military success that contributed to the re-election of President Abraham Lincoln. Sherman accepted the surrender of all the Confederate armies in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida in April 1865 and succeeded Ulysses S. Grant as Commanding General of the Army when Grant was elected President.
