Um, no! It was John Bell Hood. He immediately attacked Sherman and destroyed his army. If Johnston had not been replaced the war might have turned out quite differently.
John Bell Hood - a bad appointment that led to disaster in the Battle Of Nashville, where his army was driven off in a rout, and disintegrated.
William Sherman Sherman was the Northern General. Hood replaced Johnston for the South.
Joe Johnston was born on 1950-05-13.
General Sidney Johnston (no relation to Joe Johnston), regarded as the best General in the South, and killed in that battle. He was replaced by his second-in-command General P.G.T. Beauregard.
John Bell Hood. Jefferson Davis had fired Joe Johnston because his long tactical retreat, however brilliant, did not look like the Confederate thing to do. So he replaced him with this gung-ho character Hood, who led his army to disaster.
Confederate President Jefferson Davis became dissatisfied with General Johnston's inability to stop the Union's advance towards Atlanta. Union General Sherman was making steady progress and Davis believed a more aggressive John Bell Hood would better protect Atlanta. On July 17, 1864 Bell replaced Johnston.
Atlanta was an important city for the Confederacy to hold, and armies under the command of Union General William T. Sherman were pressing on towards that city. Jefferson Davis believed that General John B. Hood could do a more effective job then Johnston. Davis replaced Johnston on July 17, 1864.
Originally Joseph E. Johnston, until he was replaced by John Hood.
ANSWER Joseph Johnston was replaced two time. The first one was after he was injured during the Peninsular Campaign and replaced byt Robert E. Lee. The second one was during the Atlanta Campaign, when he was replaced by John Bell Hood.
On July 17, 1864, Richmond wrote to General Johnston that he was to be replaced. Johnston received word that he had failed to arrest the advance of the Union armies in the vicinity of Atlanta and allowed them to penetrate deep into Georgia. Davis had no confidence that Johnston could defeat Union armies and was relieved of duty as commander of the Army of Tennessee. He was to turn over his command to Major General John Bell Hood.
