The Battle of Atlanta Union Side EDGAR REYES PER: 4 US HISTORY

Main Generals James B. McPhersonWilliam T. Sherman

Background of William Tecumseh Sherman William T. Sherman ( ) was an Ohio native who attended West Point and served in the U.S. Army before becoming a banker and then president of a military school in Louisiana. When the Civil War broke out in 1861, Sherman joined the Union Army and eventually commanded large numbers of troops, under General Ulysses S. Grant ( ), at the battles of Shiloh (1862), Vicksburg (1863) and Chattanooga (1863). In the spring of 1864, Sherman became supreme commander of the armies in the West and was ordered by Grant to take the city of Atlanta, then a key military supply center and railroad hub for the Confederates.

Objective  Union forces commanded by William T. Sherman, wanted to neutralize the important rail and supply hub, defeated Confederate forces defending the city under John B. Hood.  The union forces were in the offensive.  Technically Sherman's goal was to destroy the Army of the Tennessee, capture Atlanta and cut off vital Confederate supply lines.

Strategy  The strategy of the union side was to engage in several fierce battles with Confederate soldiers on the outskirts of the city, including the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain on June 27.  Sherman settled into a siege of Atlanta, shelling the city and sending raids west and south of the city to cut off the supply lines from Macon, Georgia.  Union forces were of 34,863.  Our only physical obstacles were he trees in the forest.  Other Officers who help During this time were, James B. McPherson. He was one of Sherman's and Grant's favorite commanders, as he was very quick and aggressive (qualities found in few Union generals). The XV Corps was commanded by General John A. Logan, the XVI Corps was commanded by Maj. Gen. Grenville M. Dodge, and the XVII Corps was commanded by Maj. Gen. Frank P. Blair Jr.

Action  Many things when wrong because in many occasions our troops were defeated but we didn't give up that easy.  Another thing is that when he send troops to the west and south of the city to cut off the supply lines from Macon, Georgia. Both of Sherman's cavalry raids were defeated by superior southern horsemen.  After Some of the troops were defeated he decided to make a new strategy. He swung his entire army in a broad flanking maneuver to the west. Finally, on August 31 at Jonesborough, Georgia, Sherman's army captured the railroad track from Macon.

Battle of Atlanta

Consequences  This was our result in casualties and losses 3,641.  Another person was James B. McPherson, who was one of the highest- ranking Union officers killed in action during the Civil War.  We fairly won the battle of Atlanta and right after we established our headquarters there on September 9.  After the war, Sherman succeeded Grant as commander in chief of the U.S. Army, serving from 1869 to  After all in the 1864 election there was a Union General George B. McClellan, a Democrat, and Abraham Lincoln. McClellan ran a conflicted campaign - McClellan was a Unionist who advocated continuing the war until the defeat of the Confederacy.  At the end Lincoln was reelected by a comfortable margin, with 212 out of 233.
