Bummers was a nickname applied to foragers of Maj. Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman's Union army during its March to the Sea and north through North Carolina and South Carolina during the American Civil War. The designation "Bummers," although originally used to describe soldiers officially appointed to foraging duty by the army, was used, both by soldiers and civilians, to describe Sherman's soldiers, official and unofficial, who requisitioned food from Southern homes along the route of the armies' march. Sometimes highly destructive in nature, these 'bummers' became notorious among southerners, and did much to shatter the illusion that the Confederate Army was defending its territory on all fronts. The activities of 'bummers' in Georgia and the Carolinas helped ensure that the South would be unable to sustain its war effort; in addition, 'bummers' destruction of industrial property rendered the garrisoning of southern cities largely unnecessary by destroying most, if not all, of those facilities in their path that replenished the Confederate war effort (such as cotton gins/farms, foundries, lumber mills, etc.)
