From Sherman to Lincoln on December 22, I beg to present you as a Christmas gift, the city of Savannah, with one hundred guns and plenty of ammunition, and also about twenty-five thousand bales of cotton.

Many, many thanks for your Christmas gift-the capture of Savannah. Letter from Lincoln to Sherman December 26 th, 1864

Savannah was at a hinge point of the campaign across Georgia and then north to the Carolinas. As Savannah was a major port it served as a good base from which to launch the next phase of Sherman's march. An intact Savannah was more useful to the overall campaign. Why Was Savannah Spared?

Thousands of others were wounded; left crippled or blind. Lees surrender at Appomattox Court House.
