Thersites the Historian | Atlanta Campaign, Part II: Hood Takes The Helm (feat. Dave Powell, Sean Chick, and Luke Freet) @ThersitestheHistorian | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Today, we will be examining the second half of the Atlanta campaign of 1864. Last time, Sherman's army group advanced through north Georgia and cleared all of the defensible terrain on the way to Atlanta. Despite some small setbacks, such as the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain, Sherman was able to sustain his force and keep casualties relatively low. Joseph E. Johnston's failure to take a strong stand got him fired and this led Confederate President Jefferson Davis to entrust the south's second field army to the young and relatively inexperienced John Bell Hood. Far more daring than Johnston, Hood will try to retrieve the situation and save Atlanta by going on the offensive. Will it work? Well, obviously not. However, we are here to look at precisely why Hood failed and get into the details of how Sherman successfully cut the rebellious South in half and set the stage for his March to the Sea and March Through the Carolinas.
