Good question.
Grant had told Sherman to "make Georgia howl", and Sherman had not been slow to follow orders - destroying farms, wrecking railroads, totally devastating Southern morale.
To burn down the wonderful city of Savannah, as he had earlier burned down Atlanta, would have been the supreme punitive measure. So why didn't he do it?
As he stopped in the outskirts of Savannah, he was certainly preparing for a major battle with the Confederates occupying the city, which would have caused a lot of damage, even if he had stopped short of actual arson.
But the Confederate army escaped across the river into South Carolina (the state that had started the war), and Sherman's thoughts were no longer on Georgia. There were enemy to be pursued and fresh punitive raids to be carried out in the Palmetto State, where he would take his troops a few weeks later.
There remains one touching anecdote about Sherman's reluctance to harm Savannah. Apparently he had once loved a girl from there, and identified the city with her memory. Recently a piece of semi-fiction was published on this theme, in which the lady herself makes an appearance, though there is no historical record of this ever happening.
Because the CSA attacked USA like Lincoln planned he wanted them to start the war. In South Carolina case it wasnt they were since Dec 1860 and first confederate states feb 1861
we didnt really have to do anything except try to find food becasue the war wasnt here. It was in japan and veitnam
no it wasnt
it wasnt..
No, nothing of that sort was even invented, im pretty sure there wasnt even grenades. He's correct they didn't have bazookas in the War Between The States but they did have grenades. The North used Ketchum Grenades and the South used a couple of different designs.
it wasnt a civil war.
no it wasnt. it was just a storyline
Because the civil was wasnt about slavery.
he looked like a normal boy it wasnt till he was an adult that he was burned
it was a territory then, im pretty sure it wasnt a state
no there wasnt
No it wasnt rich.
well after Hitler committed suicide he wasnt buried they burned his body
Yes. But they cut the wires whenever the Union armies invaded. That was why Sherman's whole army was incommunicado for five weeks in the crossing of Georgia.
Some Americans disagreed with Truman's support of civil rights for African Americans.
Because there wasnt enough food for the soldiers and the civilians
World War I and II took place during these years.
