William Tecumseh Sherman
The Battle of Atlanta signed the unstoppable decline of the Confederate military power in the West. The seize of the city and its destruction deprived the Southerners of the most important strategic point in that sector and opened the gate to the deep Union penetration developed in November 1864 by Sherman's Army, by the start of "the March to the Sea", the decisive factor which sped up the collapse of the Confederacy.
This was part of the overall Union strategy(essentially divide and conquer).The first part of that was achieved with the control of the Mississippi River. Sherman captured Atlanta as it was an important railroad junction. He then set out on his infamous March to the Sea,cutting Georgia in half.

In the Battle of Atlanta, which took place from July 22 to September 2, 1864, the key Union general was William Tecumseh Sherman, who commanded the Western Army. The Confederate forces were led by General John Bell Hood. The battle was part of the American Civil War and aimed to secure Atlanta as a strategic supply center for the Union. Sherman's victory ultimately contributed to his famous "March to the Sea."

Atlanta was significant to the Union because it was a vital railroad hub and industrial center, crucial for supplying the Confederate army. Its seizure was led by Union General William Tecumseh Sherman during his Atlanta Campaign in 1864. Sherman's subsequent March to the Sea, from Atlanta to Savannah, aimed to disrupt Confederate supply lines and morale, employing total war tactics that devastated the South's infrastructure. This campaign significantly weakened the Confederacy's ability to sustain the war effort.
Atlanta Neighborhood Union was created in 1908.
