Sherman, having received an indication from Grant…

November 1864 CE

Sherman, having received an indication from Grant that he is favorably considering the march to Savannah, sets his mind on the short-term goal of pursuing the swiftly moving Hood.

He directs Thomas to come forward from Nashville to block Hood's advance.

To bolster Thomas's effort, Sherman orders the IV Corps under Stanley to Chattanooga and the XXIII Corps under Schofield to Nashville, as well as Major General Andrew J. Smith's XVI Corps from Missouri to Nashville.

By November 10, the remainder of Sherman's troops are en route back to Atlanta.
