How did Confederate General Joseph Johnston respond charges that he was not properly defending Georgia?
Union Major General William T. Sherman's armies were making substantial gains against the Army of Tennessee in the Spring and Summer of 1864. General Johnston responded to his critics, which included Confederate President Jefferson Davis, that the enemy's armies were double his own forces. He declared that only defensive measures were possible in that situation. He believed he had to wait for Sherman to make an error that Southern forces could take advantage of, and strike a blow to slow down Sherman's advance.
