Sherman's March to the Sea

So this week I was preparing for a lesson that I was going to teach at the high school.  The assigned topic was to discuss Sherman's March.  I was trying to find different video clips that would work for the topic.  While looking for this, I stumbled across a really interesting interactive map on the history channel that I found very helpful for teaching this topic.  It shows the three phases of the march.  You can click on each phase then and see the different battles.  It provides a nice visual for the students to use.  It also allows them to pick individual battles from the march.
