Answer

The excerpt describes **A. the March to the Sea**.<br /><br />Dolly Sumner Lunt's journal chronicles her experiences living in Georgia during Sherman's March to the Sea. The passage details the destruction and pillaging of her property by Union troops, which aligns directly with the events of that campaign. The March to the Sea involved Union forces moving through Georgia, destroying infrastructure, seizing supplies, and disrupting the Confederate war effort.<br />
