I believe you are referring to the stone carvings, on the appropriately named Stone Mountain of several prominent CSA leaders and generals. The Stone Mountain complex was in part founded by the issue of a commemorative coin in the twenties or thirties. Coins were sold at a higher price and the mark-up went to the monument commission, this is similar to the short-lived Merkel Monument commission (which this writer contributed to) which was (charged) by cash donations for a tombstone monument for the late (then) actress Una Merkel- this ran through ads in a movie magazine.
No Confederate General surrendered the City of Atlanta to Sherman's Union forces. The Confederate forces under Hood evacuated the city in September 1864. General Sherman in turn evacuated the city after burning it in November of that year, returning it to Confederate control.
The inhabitant of Atlanta were forced to evacuate the city and sheltered behind the Confederate lines.
Confederate General John Bell Hood had replaced General Johnston in order to prevent the fall of Atlanta. He was not successful and General Sherman had the city basically under siege. To save what was left of his army, General Hood had to evacuate Atlanta and Sherman marched in unopposed.
The main goal of the Union in the capture of Atlanta was to disable its railway network, cut off supplies going to Confederate general Johnston's army, and occupy a major Confederate city. By doing so and occupying Atlanta for over a month, Sherman dealt a psychological blow to the South. The fall of Atlanta, led the way for Sherman to battle on to the port city Savannah, Georgia.
Martin Luther King Jr. is buried at the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site in Atlanta, Georgia. This is not his favorite place, but rather a memorial and historical site dedicated to honoring his life and legacy.
It is The Stone Mountain Memorial, carved in the north face of Stone Mountain. It features the mounted images of generals Robert E. Lee, Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson and the president of the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis. It is just northeast of Atlanta, Georgia.
I'm assuming you mean to ask, "Was Atlanta a Confederate State?" Well Atlanta is not a Confederate State because it is not a state, its a city. Atlanta is a city in Georgia which was a Confederate State.
The original confederate flag wasn't painted. It was manufactured out of bunting cloth just as flags are today, by the Charleston Clothing Depot. The flag which flew over the siege of Atlanta can be seen today in the Confederate Memorial Hall in Knoxville Tennessee.

The fall of the confederate city of Atlanta had devastating losses and a horrific effect on the civilian population of Atlanta. The union states did not however think that Atlanta had great military significance and this was not an intended outcome.
