Which got him, Andersonville or Savannah?

Andersonville seems something of a stretch for a great-uncle.

Alright, great, great uncle then. When he was released from Andersonville,
he was taken to a hospital in Washington, DC. When he had put some weight
back on and felt more like himself, he hopped a train and went home to Ohio
without waiting for the formality of a discharge.

Common practice then, I understand. The Army just sent his discharge papers
to his mother.

None of the survivors went straight from Andersonville to Union lines--
the ones able to travel were evacuated by the Confederates themselves to
Savannah ahead of Sherman's troops (those too debilitated to travel were
left unattended to die).

Savannah, and the compassionate treatment given them in Savannah by the
administration and citizens of that city, led to an instant love-affair
with the city on most of their parts.

Sherman bagged Savannah itself just a couple of weeks later, Hardee and
his Confederate troops evacuating it in order to avoid capture or
destruction, and to avoid the destruction of the city if a siege were
entertained there (the example of Atlanta was still fresh in everyone's
minds).

Sherman and his troops were pretty well-behaved in Savannah, part of
which was no doubt due to the Andersonville survivors' testimony as to the
treatment they received there.

Once Sherman & Co. headed North and crossed the state line from Georgia
into South Carolina, though, it was in five columns the progress of each
of which could easily be followed by its "a pillar of smoke by day and a
pillar of flame by night", all of which quite mysteriously ceased (for the
most part) as soon as they crossed the next state line on into North
Carolina.

Sherman spared my little community of Springfield because we(they) let him
park his horses in the Lutheran church overnight. That church is still
standing and active today.

Do they have a statue of his horse? they ought to.

They could put a nice brass plate saying "SHERMAN" on the back of the base
of the statue . . . .

It is usual on these occasions to make a great vapouring
about honour and conscience: but as those words are now
generally acknowledged to be utterly destitute of meaning,
I have too much respect for your understanding to say any
thing about them.

The Germans did the same thing at Auschwitz in advance of the Soviet
troops in January 1945, with the added charm that those of the surviving
genocidees who couldn't take the march _on foot_ _in a Polish Winter_
(they were all malnourished, overworked and brutalized) were simply shot
or beaten or bayoneted to death where they collapsed.

And, of course, _The General Who Marched to Hell_, about the
not-entirely-accidental burning down of the capital of South Carolina,
Columbia, where many of the wealthier eastern South Carolinians and
especially the Charlestonians, figuring Sherman was comin' to Charleston,
where it all started, so to speak, had shipped their movable valuables and
families . . . .

Not a very deep or detailed book, but it does include some sources unique
to it.

I look upon Columbia as quite as bad as Charleston.
