Best Answer

Atlanta had little importance for Grant, who had told Sherman simply to destroy the Army of Tennessee wherever it was.

It was when Sherman failed to do this that the capture of Atlanta seemed like the next best thing, a morale-booster for the war-weary North, with the General Election getting near.
