Kennesaw Mountain was the only major battle that Sherman lost while an army commander.
As a subordinate General, he had taken bad losses in a number of skirmishes. And his capture of Atlanta actually represented a failure to destroy the Army of Tennessee - arguably a defeat. That army was of course routed later by George Thomas, technically under Sherman's command, though Sherman was deep in Georgia by then, and incommunicado because the telegraph lines had been cut.
Chickamauga in Summer '63 - a Confederate win by Braxton Bragg over William Rosecrans. Atlanta in Summer '64 - a Union win by William Sherman over John Hood. This was followed by Sherman's March to the Sea, in which there were no battles, to speak of.

He wrote to friends in the South, telling them they didn't know what they'd started. Correctly, he forecast that they would win some early battles, but the manufacturing strength of the North would steadily tell against them. As for the future of the South, he said they could no more get their slaves back than resurrect their dead grandfathers.

William Tecumseh Sherman was a General in the Union Army. He worked under and closely with Ulysses S. Grant. He lead three different armies in to Georgia to have a win for the Union Army. It isn’t clear form where he watched the battle but it does indicate he was an active in the Tennessee Army.
The phrase "we can't afford to win many more battles like that" is often attributed to British General William Tecumseh Sherman during the American Civil War, reflecting the heavy toll and losses experienced even in victory. It underscores the idea that while strategic victories may be achieved, the costs in terms of casualties and resources could be unsustainable for continued conflict. This sentiment captures the harsh realities of warfare, where the price of victory can be steep.
General William Tecumseh Sherman defeating the Confederate troops in Atlanta helped Lincoln's reelection because it demonstrated strong territorial gains for the Union.

William T Sherman of the north will lead a march from Savannah to columbia SC
Sherman. But he didn't take control of Grant's army. Grant concentrated all his forces into two armies, and gave one of them to Sherman, ordering him to destroy the Army of Tennessee. Taking Atlanta was not a major objective. When he failed to destroy that army, Sherman opted for the capture of Atlanta instead, because it would sound like big news in the North and help Lincoln win the election. After that, of course, he devised an entirely new strategy - the March to the Sea.
