After he abandoned his attempt to pursue the Army of Tennessee, he turned South-East from Atlanta and crossed Georgia to Savannah, from where the Confederate General Hardee escaped across the river into South Carolina (saving the fine city of Savannah from a hammering.)

Sherman soon followed him into South Carolina, the state that had started the war, and burned down the capital, Columbia.

The war ended soon after Sherman crossed into North Carolina.
