Description

William T. Sherman’s burning of Atlanta helped reelect Abraham Lincoln. By contrast, if Confederate President Jefferson Davis had left Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, one among its so much effective generals,in control of Atlanta’s defenses, the town would possibly have been preserved. Edward Longacre offers a new viewpoint on Sherman’s and Johnston’s military histories, including their clashes at Vicksburg, Kennesaw Mountain, and Bentonville, where they negotiated give up terms. After the War they become friends, to such an extent that Johnston used to be a pallbearer at Sherman’s 1891 funeral.
