Whoa, whoa there...!
Sherman was not given an army until March 1864.
Chattanooga was all over in November 1863. (It had a lot to do with supply-lines, but not Sherman's.)
Atlanta was where the Army of Tennessee holed up in August 1864. When Sherman occupied Atlanta, that army escaped into the mountains, and Grant ordered Sherman to pursue. Now it was Sherman's long and vulnerable supply-line that made him feel he could not achieve this, and asked Grant's permission to undertake his March to the Sea instead (living off the land).
Nashville was the beginning of the supply-line - a single-track railroad with 24 viaducts that were always being blown up by Confederate cavalry under Bedford Forrest. By the time of the Battle of Nashville (December 1864), Sherman was closing on Savannah and planning to cross into South Carolina, with very few Confederates still in the field. His supply-line was no longer a worry to him.
