Battle of Honey Hill — Sherman's March Support Fails
A Union force attempting to cut Confederate railroad supply lines was repulsed at Honey Hill by Confederate defenders in a strong position. The defeat was a rare Confederate success during Sherman's March to the Sea.
Though a Union defeat, Honey Hill could not prevent Sherman's capture of Savannah ten days later or the overall success of the March to the Sea.
Outcome
Confederate defensive victory; cannot stop Sherman's advance
