The Battle of Ezra Church July 28, 1864 whose favourable outcome, allowed the investment of Atlanta also from its western side by Union Army of the Ohio, forcing Hood to extend the entrenchments south of the city up to about 10 kilometers to cover the Atlanta-Montgomery railroad and stop the Federal advance.
Hood, decided to fight back by sending half of his cavalry under General Wheeler to interrupt the railroad Atlanta-Chattanooga, vital for supplies of Sherman, thus depriving himself of his best cavalry units to monitor the movements of the enemy.
Sherman took the opportunity to organize a great undetected outflanking movement of Confederate defensive line that led the armies of the Union to cut the railway Montgomery-Atlanta and at Jonesborough, the Atlanta-Macon, thereby isolating Hood's forces from the rest of the Confederacy.
To avoid being besieged in the city and forced sooner or later to surrender Hood decided to evacuate Atlanta.
