What was the controversy between generals US Grant and William T. Sherman after the capture of Atlanta in 1864?
ChuckSiata
After the capture of Atlanta by Major General William T. Sherman he stayed there for over a month. His plan to leave some forces behind to deal with Confederate General John Bell Hood was discussed with General in Chief US Grant. Sherman wanted to push forward to Savannah Georgia. Grant was initially opposed to Sherman's plan and judged it to be too risky. He preferred that Sherman take care of Hood himself before marching to Savannah. Sherman finally convinced Grant that his move would be worth the risk. Finally Grant agreed and Sherman left Atlanta on November 16, 1864 and began his famous "March to the Sea".
