亞特蘭大戰役

亞特蘭大戰役是1864年夏季在南北戰爭西部戰場上發生的一系列戰役，發生在喬治亞州西北部和亞特蘭大周邊地區。聯邦軍少將威廉·特庫姆賽·雪曼從田納西州查塔努加附近攻入佐治亞州，從1864年5月開始，遭到邦聯將軍約瑟夫·E·約翰斯頓的抵抗。
面對謝爾曼集團軍的連續側翼機動，約翰斯頓的Army of the Tennessee向亞特蘭大撤退。7月，南方邦聯總統傑斐遜·戴維斯用更具侵略性的John Bell Hood將軍取代了約翰斯頓，後者開始在一系列代價高昂的正面進攻中挑戰聯邦軍隊。胡德的軍隊最終被圍困在亞特蘭大，這座城市於9月2日陷落，為謝爾曼向海邊進軍奠定了基礎，並加速了戰爭的結束。
