At the end of the Chattanooga Campaign in November 1863, Major General William T. Sherman was placed in overall command of Union forces in and around the Chattanooga area. He spent the winter months building up supplies and reorganizing his armies in the Chattanooga and Dalton areas. He knew that come Spring of 1864, his Union forces would resume the march South to fight General Joseph Johnston's Confederate Army of Tennessee. If he could not defeat that army, his next best objective would be: Atlanta.
