Yeah...Lee's first invasion of the North was absolutely nothing like Sherman's march through Georgia.
What people seem to forget is that Sherman wasn't the first military commander of the Civil War to pioneer the tactics he used against Georgia. Grant did it first in Mississippi when he and Sherman were marching on Vicksburg in 1863. Sherman simply expanded upon his teacher's tactics the following year.

Yes. Jackson, MS is nicknamed "Chimneyville" because much of the city was burned by Grant prior to the Vicksburg campaign.
