On December 22, 1864, Sherman sent a wire to President Lincoln: “I beg to present you as a Christmas gift the City of Savannah with one hundred fifty heavy guns, plenty of ammunition, also about twenty-five thousand bales of cotton.” The next day, Union troops
took over Savannah. Interestingly enough, Sherman did not burn Savannah. He knew that there was a treasure to be saved in Savannah, a treasure the Union Army needed. Since the city had been cut off by the naval blockade, bales of cotton had been accumulating in the warehouses and on the docks. Sherman quickly had it loaded, shipped to the North, and sold for a reported $28 million. Source: Georgia and the American Experience, p. 274.
