Best Answer

Atlanta, Georgia.

After the Union troops defeated the Confederates at the Battles of Lookout Mountain, and Missionary Ridge in Nov 1863, the Confederates had to fall back into Georgia. General Grant sent General Sherman to push his troops towards Atlanta, Georgia, the most industrial city in the central southern states. The Battle of Atlanta was fought in July 1864 and Sherman captured the city.

General Sherman proposed a bold plan move his army out of Atlanta across Georgia and take the war to the civilian population. His main goal was to crush the will of the people to continue to fight this war. He cut all his supply lines and lines of communication and started on his March to the Sea, arriving at Savannah.
