The Atlanta Campaign & Sherman's March

Western ACW Books

The Atlanta Campaign won the 1864 election for Lincoln and ensured the South would not get an "easy" political victory in the war. Sherman faced off against Johnston, who kept retreating from such places as Dalton, Resaca, Cassville, New Hope Church, Dallas, Pickett's Mill, Kennesaw Mountain, and finally the Chattahoochee River line until the armies had reached Atlanta itself. Johnston was then relieved by Hood, who in the three bloody battles of Peachtree Creek, Bald Hill, and Ezra Church, managed to wreck his army. Sherman cut the last rail line out of the city at Jonesboro, and Atlanta fell the next day.
