Was Siege and Total War Right?

General Grant decided to use siege. In my opinion using siege was a good idea for the position he was in, If you want to win a battle you have to do something big so no one could stop it. When he did that it stopped supplies, weapons, and soldiers from coming in to the south. It was a good idea because then how was the Confederates suppose to fight? It really helped them win the battle by using siege. General Sherman thought by burning everything after him then he would win the battle. He should not of burned everything because there are a lot of people who are residents of the south. Even if he wants to find a way to win the battle he shouldn't of made residents of the south starve because he wanted to win. There were a lot of people there who might of not liked the Confederates but does not have enough money to go to the South. He put a lot of people's life in danger.
