Sherman chose not to destroy Savannah during his "March to the Sea" in 1864 primarily because he recognized the city's strategic importance as a port and supply center for the Confederacy. Instead, he aimed to capture the city to demonstrate the Union's strength and to encourage further surrender of Confederate forces. Additionally, he believed that preserving Savannah would be beneficial for the post-war recovery of the South. His decision was also influenced by the desire to minimize suffering for civilians and to facilitate a smoother transition to peace.
