General William T. Sherman led his lightly-armed troops on his "March to the Sea" from Atlanta to Savannah in late 1864. They generally foraged off the land as they traveled, destroying railways and disrupting Confederate enterprises. When they reached Savannah, they captured a small fort and linked up with a Union fleet, then demanded the city surrender or be destroyed. On December 20, the Confederate defenders slipped away, and Sherman occupied Savannah, completing his bold plan to further weaken the South.
