Literally a 'turning point' - Sherman turned South-east and headed for the sea, while Hood's Army of Tennessee turned North and headed for Nashville, a complete reversal of direction.
Sherman's move turned out totally successful (though he was privately jittery about it), and the laying-waste to Georgia farms and railroads helped to starve the Confederate troops in the field.
Hood's move failed disastrously. He assumed wrongly that Sherman would follow him into the mountains, where his supply-line might be cut off. This left him with no particular objective, except to make empty threats to George Thomas in Nashville. Hood's army was routed and fragmented.
