In Christmas week 1864, when they reached Savannah and found that the Confederate army under Hardee had escaped into South Carolina.
Having re-established telegraph links (after five weeks of worrying silence), Sherman sent Lincoln a joke-despatch, offering him the city of Savannah as a Christmas present.
Sherman
The 3 most important battles are subject to debate. But I would personally say that Antietam, Gettysburg, and Shermans march to the sea through the South were some of the most significant
shermans march to the sea was to stop souther infastructure with that ruined the north would be able to defeat the south because he would take any supply line to the south. Sherman's March started in Atlanta, Georgia on 15 November 1864 and ended in Savannah, Georgia on 22 December 1864. The purpose was to stop the supply routes between North and South.
He marched through Georgia to destroy the farms and railroads that supported(helped) the Confederate armies in the field.
