The options of the question are: A) Andersonville. B) Atlanta. C) Chattanooga. D) Chickamauga Eliminate

The correct answer is B) Atlanta.

The city that gave the Union Army complete control over Confederate rail lines in the "Deep South" and set the stage for Sherman's "March to the Sea”, is Atlanta.

In 1864, General Sherman started a military campaign called “March to the Sea”. As a General of the Union Army, Sherman fought and eliminated everything the Army encountered. First, they captured Atlanta. The objective was to eliminate everything that the enemy could use to combat the Union. The Confederates suffered great losses of infrastructure, roads, and properties. The Union Army blocked the supplies for the Confederate Army and that was a big reason for the defeat of the Sothern states.
