Savannah was not burned - it remains a pre-bellum masterpiece to this day.

After laying waste to the rest of Georgia, Sherman spared Savannah, probably because he was in a hurry to pursue the Confederate General Hardee, who had escaped with his army.

But another version says that Sherman had once loved a girl from Savannah, and spared the city for that reason.

Once across the river into South Carolina, he returned to looting and pillaging, as this was the state that had started all the trouble. The state capital Columbia was burned down to nothing, presumably on purpose, though Sherman denied it.
