Select all that apply. Which of the following are not reasons why Savannah surrendered to Sherman?

Sherman was old friends with the mayor of Savannah.
There were loyal union sympathizers in control of the city.
To avoid destruction like the rest of the state.
There were no troops to defend the city.

Explanation:

During the American Civil War and between the months November and December 1864, General William Sherman marched between 60,000-62,000 Union soldiers from Atlanta to Savannah in order to frighten the Georgians into re-joining the Union.

When he got to Savannah, the city surrendered to him in order to be spared the carnage that Sherman had visited on settlements along the way. It was also easier to do this because there were no Confederate troops to defend the city so they could not defend against Sherman if they wanted.

Sherman was not an old friend to the mayor of Savannah and neither were there loyal Union sympathizers in the city so those reasons are not reasons why Savannah surrendered.
