Ebenezer Creek : ウィキペディア英語版 | Ebenezer Creek Ebenezer Creek is a tributary of the Savannah River in Effingham County, Georgia, about 20 miles north of the city of Savannah. During the American Civil War, an incident at the creek resulted in the drowning of a large number of freed slaves. ==Background== Throughout Sherman's March to the Sea, thousands of freed slaves had attached themselves to the Union army's various infantry columns. Most eventually turned back, but those that remained were looked on as "a growing encumbrance" as the army approached Savannah in December 1864.〔Foote, p. 649〕 Complicating the situation, Confederate cavalry under General Joseph Wheeler were actively harassing the Federal rear guard during this period.〔Miles, p. 128〕
