Final answer:
William T. Sherman "presented" the city of Savannah to President Lincoln for Christmas, as part of his March to the Sea.
Step-by-step explanation:
For Christmas, William T. Sherman "presented" the city of Savannah to President Lincoln. After Lieutenant General William J. Hardee withdrew his troops from the city, Savannah's mayor surrendered it to Sherman, who sent a message to Lincoln considering it his Christmas gift. This event was part of Sherman's famous March to the Sea, where he led his army through Georgia, destroying everything in their path to demoralize the Confederacy.
