		After the fall of Atlanta in September 1864, Army of Tennessee commander General John Bell Hood, who had replaced Johnston in July, moved his army to the west and south of Atlanta, camping near the town of Palmetto.
		To pursue Sherman, the passage of the Army of Tennessee would, necessarily, have been over roads with all the bridges destroyed, and through a devastated country, affording no subsistence or forage; and, moreover, it was feared that a retrograde movement on our part would seriously deplete the army by desertions.
		To have sent off the most or the whole of the Army of Tennessee in pursuit of Sherman, would have opened to Thomas’s force the richest portion of the State of Alabama, and would have made nearly certain the capture of Montgomery, Selma, and Mobile, without insuring the defeat of Sherman.

		While Union commanders were being frequently changed and stalemated by Lee’s men in the east, Grant and Sherman were winning the west for the Union, reinforced by President Jefferson Davis with poor command appointments and his long-distance neglect of the western Confederate armies.
		The Henry, Donelson, Shiloh, and Vicksburg victories showed Lincoln that Grant was a winner, and he was called east to head the entire Union army (delegating the west to Generals Sherman and Thomas) and to take personal direction of the hapless Army of the Potomac that Lee kept stymied.
		In the Washington victory parades afterward, the western Union men showed up in tatters and disarray, barely distinguishable from the starved and ill-clad southerners they had bested, and a striking contrast to the well-groomed eastern armies marching those two days.
