Potomac River
There was no Savannah battle, although Sherman was expecting one. The commander of the small Confederate army in Savannah was General Hardee, who tried to bluff that he'd got Sherman within range of heavy artillery. Sherman ignored the threat, and Hardee escaped across the river into South Carolina.

The Carthaginian general Hannibal (247 – 182 BC) led 38,000 infantry, 8,000 cavalry, and 37 war elephants across the alps as part of the Second Punic War in Italy, in the winter of 218 BC. Many did not survive the conditions and skirmishes, arriving in the area of Turin with half the originally reported force.

General Robert E. Lee planned and led the Army of Northern Virginia across the Potomac River and into Maryland. On September 17, 1862, his army the Union's Army of the Potomac would engage each other in the Battle of Antietam.
Robert E. Lee's intentions after he crossed the Potomac River and into Maryland were to engage General McClellan's Army of the Potomac as far away as possible from its base in Washington DC. Lee's idea was to engage in a battle at a time and place of his choosing. If McClellan was slow in his pursuit, Lee was prepared if necessary, to march into Pennsylvania.
They are across the country
As the raiding force of Confederate General approached Washington DC, a number of skirmishes developed over a broad area. These occurred at Antietam Bridge, Frederick, and at Sandy Hook, Maryland. A more deadly conflict occurred at Monocacy, Maryland. At this point, Federal defensive forces were mostly inexperienced and untrained soldiers. Early inflicted 2,000 casualties there with his veteran forces. The Confederates lost 700 men. Lincoln was confused at the lack of action against Early, especially since he was so close to Washington DC.

Confederate General Robert E. Lee sought various ways to stop the Union's offensive in Virginia. In late July of 1864, he sent troops under the command of General George Hunt Morgan to raid the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and into Pennsylvania. Morgan was ill so Lee did launch cavalry raids into Maryland and Pennsylvania. He also conferred with General Ewell concerning ways to interfere with the Union's navigation of the James River. Also, Lee considered sending troops with long range cannon across the lines south of the Potomac River with the idea of causing panic in Washington DC.
