Sherman won the Battle of Atlanta, although he had failed in his mission to destroy the Army of Tennessee, which escaped the city.

He then settled on his plan to ignore that army, turn East, and carry out punitive raids on the Georgia farmland, enabling him to live off the land and not have to worry about his supply-line. Meanwhile, he would be helping to starve the Confederate armies, as well as the civilians who were supporting those armies.
