What Union General advanced to Savannah?
George Tecumseh Sherman would be my guess, during his march through Georgia.
What Confederate general replaced General Braxton Bragg?
After the loss at the Battle of Chattanooga, Jefferson Davis replaced Bragg with General Joseph Johnston. Johnston's troops would be asked to defend the march of Union General William T. Sherman to Georgia.
Why was Chattanooga Tennessee an important military objective for the Union?
Chattanooga, Tennessee was a key railhead and control of the city was considered a major part of the Union's campaign to dominate the Confederate state of Tennessee. Holding Chattanooga and breaking the siege around it by Confederate Major General Braxton Bragg, would lead the way into Georgia and the pivotal City of Atlanta, Georgia. In the Fall of 1863, Union General Rosencrans had just been defeated by General Bragg at the Battle of Chickamauga, and Rosenscrans was under siege as he took refuge in Chattanooga.

Union General US Grant had proposed in early 1864 to send a joint naval and infantry force to capture the valuable port city of Mobile Alabama. Had these plans been approved in Washington DC and the operation was a success, 25,000 Union troops could have prevented any Confederate reinforcements from reaching General Johnston.

Union General William T. Sherman was unfairly criticized when he captured Atlanta, Georgia. This was because he ordered the immediate evacuation of all civilians form the city. Sherman's response was in line with the humane side of himself. As he was sure that Confederate General John B. Hood would attack Sherman's forces in Atlanta, he responded that it would be better to not fight a battle in Atlanta and endanger the citizens there. This was a proper decision that he made at the time.

Confederate General James Longstreet was present at the meeting in Richmond where strategy was formed on the best way to counter the Union's attack on the Peninsula.

Longstreet cautioned against making any rash moves against McClellan because the Union general was known to avoid heavy offensive operations. Therefore, prudent but effective defensive actions would slow down the battle cautious Union general.
What union general would only accept unconditional surrender?
Ulysses S. Grant.
