El general Sherman, dejando el Vigésimo Cuerpo, retiró el resto de su ejército ante Atlanta, y los rebeldes comenzaron a regocijarse por su supuesta retirada, cuando de repente reapareció para Su asombrada visión, quince millas al sur de Atlanta, atacó a los rebeldes en Jonesboro, capturando sus horquillas, diez armas y 200 prisioneros, y causándoles una pérdida de 3000 muertos y heridos, siendo el general rebelde Hood completamente "engañado", en palabras del general. Sherman, 'hizo estallar sus cargadores en Atlanta y se fue durante la noche, cuando el General Slocum del 20º Cuerpo tomó posesión de ese lugar', añadiendo el trofeo más orgulloso de todos, a las armas conquistadoras de nuestro Noble Ejército del Oeste". La Batalla de Jonesborough (nombre moderno Jonesboro) se libró del 31 de agosto al 1 de septiembre de 1864, durante la Campaña de Atlanta. Dos ejércitos de la Unión liderados por el mayor general William T.

La ciudad de Atlanta fue abandonada y luego ocupada por tropas de la Unión durante el resto de la guerra.
