Major General William Sherman commanded three Union armies in the Atlanta campaign Sherman's Atlanta CampaignAfter Richmond, Virginia, Atlanta, Georgia was the most crucial railroad and supply center in the Confederacy. Sherman and his armies left Chattanooga in May 1864; their objective was Atlanta with its capture resulting in the following Split the Confederacy in half Isolate Confederate armies in the west Deny supplies and transportation routes to the Confederacy General map of Shermans Atlanta Campaign Sherman attacked along the axis of the Western and Atlantic Railroad line, which ran from Chattanooga, Tennessee, to Marietta, Georgia. The two armies fought a series of battles that followed a similar pattern. Sherman would send part of his army against General Johnston's fortified defensive position while flanking the Confederate position with other Union forces Johnston would respond to the flanking maneuver by retreating to another secure geographic location further down the line toward Atlanta The Atlanta campaign followed this pattern in battles at Rocky Face Ridge, Resaca, and Adairsville in early May 1864. Sherman confronted Johnston's army in a powerful defensive position at Allatoona Pass; he maneuvered his entire Army around Johnston's left flank to force a Confederate retreat. Fearing his army would be overrun at the battle of Marietta, General Johnston retreated again to a previously selected fortified position at Kennesaw Mountain. General Joseph Johnson Kennesaw MountainAt Kennesaw Mountain, General Sherman abandoned his previous tactic, maneuvering around Johnston's flanks, and decided to conduct a frontal attack against Johnston's forces. Now only fifteen miles from Atlanta, the Confederate forces at Kennesaw Mountain were imminent to his supply line from Chattanooga. In a telegram to Washington, Sherman stated"The whole country is one vast fort, and Johnston must have at least 50 miles of connected trenches with abatis and finished batteries. We gain ground daily, fighting all the time...Our lines are now in close contact and the fighting incessant, with a good deal of artillery. As fast as we gain one position, the enemy has another all ready...Kennesaw...is the key to the whole country."Sherman planned to weaken Johnston's fortified defenses by extending his Union troops to Johnston's battle lines' right and then attack at the weakened center. On June 27, 1864, Sherman attacked. After the battle, Sherman explained his reasoning for the frontal attack, despite the extent of the Confederate fortifications. Sherman is quoted saying"I perceived that the enemy and our officers had settled down into a conviction that I would not assault fortified lines. All looked to me to outflank. An army to be efficient, must not settle down to a single mode of offence, but must be prepared to execute any plan which promises success. I wanted, therefore, for the moral effect, to make a successful assault against the enemy behind his breastworks, and resolved to attempt it at that point where success would give the largest fruits of victory."The fruits of victory were bitter. Sherman's attacking troops suffered 3,000 casualties, Johnston's defenders 1,000; however, as most of his forces were engaged in the frontal attack, Sherman sent additional divisions around Johnston's left. Even though he had successfully defended against the Union assault, Johnston abandoned the Kennesaw Mountain fortifications for Takes CommandJohnston's retreat from Kennesaw Mountain caused Confederate President Jefferson Davis to replace him as General of the Army of Tennessee with General John Bell Hood. Davis stated that he was frustrated by Johnston's unwillingness to confront Sherman's divisions even given the almost two to one disparity in numbers between the two opposing armies. After the Confederate retreat from Kennesaw Mountain, Sherman's three armies totaling 90,000 troops surrounded Atlanta. General John Bell Hood replaced General Johnston after the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain The Battle of Atlanta MapGeneral Hood was much more aggressive in his actions than his predecessor Johnston, although, in the end, this aggressiveness hastened the fall of Atlanta. On July 20, 1864, Hood sent two divisions to attack one of Sherman's armies, the Army of the Cumberland, crossing Peachtree Creek west of Atlanta. The attack was repulsed, resulting in the loss of Hood's 2,500 evening, Hood sent his reserve division to reinforce a cavalry division on a low ridge east of Atlanta that ended in a prominence called Bald Hill. Another of Sherman's armies, the Army of Tennessee, was east of Atlanta, astride the Georgia railroad between Decatur and Atlanta; they were headed for the same ridge. Battle of Atlanta around Bald Hill July 22, 1864 On July 21, 1864, as the infantry of Hood's reserve division were entrenching defensive works on Bald Hill, they were attacked and overrun by the Union Army of Tennessee. Hood devised a plan to remove the Union troops from Bald Hill the following day. To hold the Army of Tennessee in its position and keep it from sending reinforcements to the Union troops on Bald Hill, Hood ordered one of his infantry corps under General Cheatham to attack the Georgia railroad upwards. Hood sent another corps under General Hardee on a flanking march to attack Bald Hill from the attack was supposed to happen at dawn, but nothing happened until noon. Hardee's flanking attack was stopped dead in its tracks for two reasons Hardee attacked too soon before Cheatham's diversionary attack had even started Expecting to find an unopposed flank, Hardee's corps ran into a Union corps of equal size To unlock this lesson you must be a Member.

Semoga membantu ya Timeline January 1863 Emancipation ProclamationIn an effort to placate the slave-holding border states, Lincoln resisted the demands of radical Republicans for complete abolition. Yet some Union generals, such as General B. F. Butler, declared slaves escaping to their lines "contraband of war," not to be returned to their masters. Other generals decreed that the slaves of men rebelling against the Union were to be considered free. Congress, too, had been moving toward abolition. In 1861, Congress had passed an act stating that all slaves employed against the Union were to be considered free. In 1862, another act stated that all slaves of men who supported the Confederacy were to be considered free. Lincoln, aware of the public's growing support of abolition, issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, declaring that all slaves in areas still in rebellion were, in the eyes of the federal government, free. March 1863 The First Conscription ActBecause of recruiting difficulties, an act was passed making all men between the ages of 20 and 45 liable to be called for military service. Service could be avoided by paying a fee or finding a substitute. The act was seen as unfair to the poor, and riots in working-class sections of New York City broke out in protest. A similar conscription act in the South provoked a similar reaction. May 1863 The Battle of ChancellorsvilleOn April 27, Union General Hooker crossed the Rappahannock River to attack General Lee's forces. Lee split his army, attacking a surprised Union army in three places and almost completely defeating them. Hooker withdrew across the Rappahannock River, giving the South a victory, but it was the Confederates' most costly victory in terms of casualties. May 1863 The Vicksburg CampaignUnion General Grant won several victories around Vicksburg, Mississippi, the fortified city considered essential to the Union's plans to regain control of the Mississippi River. On May 22, Grant began a siege of the city. After six weeks, Confederate General John Pemberton surrendered, giving up the city and 30,000 men. The capture of Port Hudson, Louisiana, shortly thereafter placed the entire Mississippi River in Union hands. The Confederacy was split in the Fall of Vicksburg—July 1863These photographs include three which William R. Pywell took in February 1864, referring back to Grant's brilliant campaign of the previous summer. June-July 1863 The Gettysburg CampaignConfederate General Lee decided to take the war to the enemy. On June 13, he defeated Union forces at Winchester, Virginia, and continued north to Pennsylvania. General Hooker, who had been planning to attack Richmond, was instead forced to follow Lee. Hooker, never comfortable with his commander, General Halleck, resigned on June 28, and General George Meade replaced him as commander of the Army of the July 1, a chance encounter between Union and Confederate forces began the Battle of Gettysburg. In the fighting that followed, Meade had greater numbers and better defensive positions. He won the battle, but failed to follow Lee as he retreated back to Virginia. Militarily, the Battle of Gettysburg was the high-water mark of the Confederacy; it is also significant because it ended Confederate hopes of formal recognition by foreign governments. On November 19, President Lincoln dedicated a portion of the Gettysburg battlefield as a national cemetery, and delivered his memorable "Gettysburg Address."Photographs of the battleground began immediately after the battle of July 1-3. This group of photographs also includes a scene of Hooker's troops in Virginia on route to Gettysburg. September 1863 The Battle of ChickamaugaOn September 19, Union and Confederate forces met on the Tennessee-Georgia border, near Chickamauga Creek. After the battle, Union forces retreated to Chattanooga, and the Confederacy maintained control of the in Virginia—August-November 1863After the Battle of Gettysburg, General Meade engaged in some cautious and inconclusive operations, but the heavy activity of the photographers was confined to the intervals between them—at Bealeton, southwest of Warrenton, in August, and at Culpeper, before the Mine Run Campaign. November 1863 The Battle of ChattanoogaOn November 23-25, Union forces pushed Confederate troops away from Chattanooga. The victory set the stage for General Sherman's Atlanta 1863After Rosecrans's debacle at Chickamauga, September 19-20, 1863, Confederate General Braxton Bragg's army occupied the mountains that ring the vital railroad center of Chattanooga. Grant, brought in to save the situation, steadily built up offensive strength, and on November 23- 25 burst the blockade in a series of brilliantly executed attacks. The photographs, probably all taken the following year when Chattanooga was the base for Sherman's Atlanta campaign, include scenes on Lookout Mountain, stormed by Hooker on November Siege of Knoxville—November-December 1863The difficult strategic situation of the federal armies after Chickamauga enabled Bragg to detach a force under Longstreet to drive Burnside out of eastern Tennessee. Burnside sought refuge in Knoxville, which he successfully defended from Confederate assaults. These views, taken after Longstreet's withdrawal on December 3, include one of Strawberry Plains, on his line of retreat. Here we have part of an army record Barnard was photographer of the Chief Engineer's Office, Military Division of the Mississippi, and his views were transmitted with the report of the chief engineer of Burnside's army, April 11, 1864. This time line was compiled by Joanne Freeman and owes a special debt to the Encyclopedia of American History by Richard B. Morris.
