President Lincoln's Christmas Gift
Dec 9, 2018 | December, Savannah History
I t was on December 22, 1864, that Abraham Lincoln received a gift from Union General William T. Sherman.
For nearly six weeks, nothing was heard from Sherman during his famous "March to the Sea," a military campaign to frighten Georgia's people and convince them to abandon the Confederate cause.
Sherman finally sent a telegram to Lincoln to inform him of the army's success, reading in part, "I beg to present you as a Christmas gift the city of Savannah with 150 heavy guns and plenty of ammunition and also about 25,000 bales of cotton."
