Marching Through Georgia

An 1868 engraving by Alexander Hay Ritchie depicting Sherman's March to the Sea. The engraving shows U.S. soldiers destroying telegraph poles and railroads, and freed slaves assisting U.S. soldiers and making their way to safety.

"Marching Through Georgia" (sometimes spelled as "Marching Thru' Georgia" or "Marching Thro Georgia") is a marching song written by Henry Clay Work at the end of the American Civil War in 1865. The title and lyrics of the song refer to U.S. Army major general William T. Sherman's "March to the Sea" to capture the Confederate city of Savannah, Georgia in late 1864.
