General William T. Sherman led his lightly-armed troops on his "March to the Sea" from Atlanta to Savannah in late 1864. They generally foraged off the land as they traveled, destroying railways and disrupting Confederate enterprises. When they reached Savannah, they captured a small fort and linked up with a Union fleet, then demanded the city surrender or be destroyed. On December 20, the Confederate defenders slipped away, and Sherman occupied Savannah, completing his bold plan to further weaken the South.
The three main southern seaports that were blockaded during the Civil War were New Orleans, Charleston, and Savannah. The Union Navy aimed to cut off the Confederate states from international trade and disrupt their supply chains, leading to significant economic and strategic consequences for the Confederacy.

Savannah is not generally considered to have been the key to the lower south during the Civil War. Atlanta was the second largest city in the Confederacy and produced far more war material than Savannah. Importance was not placed on the capture of Savannah until after the fall of Atlanta in 1864. It became the focal point of Sherman's army during its march through Georgia because its port allowed Sherman to resupply his army after its march through Georgia.
