The+Atlanta+Campaign+Outcome

The Atlanta Campaign Outcome The Atlanta Campaign resulted in a Union victory. Hood was known as the most recklessly aggressive general in the Confederate Army after the loss. The Confederate Army had more casualties fighting in the war than the Union had, but the Confederates lost the most men in the end. William T. Sherman's original mission of the campaign was to destroy the Army of Tennesee, but he let his opponent escape and was later criticized for that. The capture of Atlanta was a very important factor in the re-election of Abraham Lincoln. The outcome of the Atlanta Campaign was that it will eventually lead the Southern Storm: Sherman's March to the Sea.
