Cannon at Craven's House

The cannons that were left behind when the Confederates retreated during the Battle Above the Clouds, point north. When we visited Savannah a couple of years ago we learned that statues of soldiers face the direction of their enemy. So Confederate statues face north, Union statues face south, and Revolutionary statues face east. I wonder if the same is true with the artillery and that is why these cannons face north.
