December 1864 CE

Sherman's army had advanced to the outskirts of Savannah, which they captured just before Christmas, by the time of Hood's defeat in Nashville on December 15-16,.

Five thousand men from the battered and beaten Army of Tennessee will later be employed under Joseph E. Johnston against Sherman in South Carolina, but to no avail.
