Explanation:

• "Negotiate with Confederate leaders": Sherman's March was a military campaign to damage the Confederacy, not negotiate, so this is incorrect.
• "Demolish buildings and other infrastructure": The march used total war tactics, destroying infrastructure to cripple the Confederacy's ability to wage war, so this is correct.
• "Trade supplies with civilians": The Union army foraged and took supplies, not traded, so this is incorrect.
