Sherman's troops took the city, but did not destroy it as they had with Atlanta. The Southern troops left the city and it was occupied without a fight.
Sherman's army, traveling fast and light, reached Savannah on December 10, 1864 and found Confederate troops under Lt. General Hardee blocking them from the port. Instead, Sherman captured the lightly defended Fort McAllister on the Ogeechee River. With supplies and heavy guns delivered from a Union fleet, Sherman sent an ultimatum to the city leaders on December 17: surrender or be destroyed. Hardee's troops slipped away across the river and the city was surrendered on December 21.

When was battle of Savannah?
The Siege of Savannah occurred in 1779, as the British were besieged by a combination of American, French and Haitian forces. The Allies were attempting to retake Savannah, which had fallen to the British the previous year. The Allied forces vastly outnumbered the British. The French Admiral Count D'Estaing curiously chose to lay siege to the city rather than simply march straight into battle, bombarding it with cannon and attempting to starve the city into submission. But the British dug in and prepared for a fight. On October 9th, 1779, the Allies attacked in a predawn assault. The battle was a disaster from an Allied standpoint, and they were repulsed with massive casualties in a battle called by many the "bloodiest hour of the Revolution." The British held Savannah until the end of the Revolution.
