		The Atlanta Campaign was a series of battles fought throughout northeast Georgia and the area around Atlanta, Georgia, during the summer of 1864, leading to the eventual fall of Atlanta and hastening the end of the American Civil War.
		The Atlanta Campaign followed the Union victory at the Battle of Chattanooga in 1863; Chattanooga was known as the "Gateway to the South" and its capture opened that gateway.
		The Atlanta Campaign was followed by initiatives in two directions: almost immediately, to the northwest, in the pursuit of Hood in the Franklin-Nashville Campaign; after the 1864 U.S. presidential election, to the east in Sherman's infamous March to the Sea.
