Confederate General William Joseph Hardee graduated from West Point in 1838. He was ranked 26th in his class of graduating cadets that numbered 45. Hardee had served in the Mexican War and once the US Civil War began he saw most of his battlefield action in the Western Theater. As an aside, many historians are critical of Confederate General Albert Sidney Johnston for not placing the veteran Hardee in charge of Fort Donelson.
William J. Hardee's manual on Infantry tactics had to be replaced. In this case by the so-called "Casey Manual. As the US Civil War began to find traction and armies were being created, Hardee's manual needed to be replaced by the Union as Hardee chose to join the Confederacy. The Casey manual, similar to Hardee's became the new "bible" of sorts for the Union.
Due to Sherman's link to the Union navy, he now was able to surround Savannah Georgia, and had the men and artillery to effectively set the city to siege. He offered the defending General William J. Hardee terms for surrender, however, Hardee made the wise move to save his troops and the city from destruction by evacuating it on December 20, 1864. Hardee had the battle veteran mentality to build pontoons to cross the Savannah River The mayor of Savannah then rode to Sherman's camp and surrendered.
