Atlanta
Union General William T. Sherman played a large role for the Union in the western theater. Later he went on and captured the major Confederate city of Atlanta.
Union General William T. Sherman was unfairly criticized when he captured Atlanta, Georgia. This was because he ordered the immediate evacuation of all civilians form the city. Sherman's response was in line with the humane side of himself. As he was sure that Confederate General John B. Hood would attack Sherman's forces in Atlanta, he responded that it would be better to not fight a battle in Atlanta and endanger the citizens there. This was a proper decision that he made at the time.
