What “victory”? There was no battle, no seige. The Savannah Mayor, Aldermen, and Ladies of the City crawled to General Geary on their knees and begged him not to destroy the city or harm the citizens and they would not resist.
In 1864 NYC's population was around 1,000,000 and they counted 100 known murders.
In addition, they counted 237 unknown people found dead, so potentially 337 total murders, though just as likely other unnatural causes such as accidents and suicides.
Today NYC's population is around 8,000,000 and in 2023 they counted 387 murders, a 12% decrease from 2022 and the first time under 400 murders since 2019.
Today around 7,000 New Yorkers per year die from other "unnatural causes" such as accidents (6,500) and suicides (500).
