The Confederate general who defended Atlanta from Union attacks was John Bell Hood. He took command of the Confederate Army of Tennessee in 1864 and faced Union General William Tecumseh Sherman during the Atlanta Campaign. Despite his efforts, Hood's forces were ultimately unable to prevent the fall of Atlanta, which occurred in September 1864. Hood's aggressive tactics, while bold, ultimately led to significant losses for his army.
The Atlanta campaign led to the war ending because the union marched through several states and destroyed them all and then when they got to Atlanta they destroyed the railroad so no transports could get through
At the Battle of Atlanta, the Union Army had 3,641 causalities and losses. The Confederacy Army had 5,500 casualties and loses at the battle on July 22, 1864.
