In mid-July of 1864, Union General William Sherman was headquartered outside of Atlanta. There a Union spy informed him that Confederate General Joseph Johnston was being replaced with General John Bell Hood. Sherman knew little about Hood, except that he lost a leg at the Battle of Chickamauga.
After the first meeting of Union General Sherman and Confederate General Johnston to negotiate Johnston's surrender, Johnston asked that in their next meeting, the Confederate Secretary of War. John C. Breckinridge be present. Sherman objected to having a political appointee of the Confederacy to join the next meeting.
