Railroads were visible symbols of industry and modernity during the Civil War. They were

agents of progress, promoters of civilization, and enhancers of democracy which could bind the

North and the South together as one nation. They were also the lifeline of the army. A general’s

success or failure depended on fresh supplies and soldiers delivered directly to the battlefield.

Consequently, Union strategists deliberately targeted rail junctions as campaign objectives in

places like Chattanooga, Tennessee; Atlanta, Georgia; and Corinth, Mississippi. This was

especially true of Atlanta, a city which served as the Confederacy’s rail hub and manufacturing

center.

Railroads became a set of guidelines between which campaigns were waged, battles were

fought, and men and materials were moved. A commander’s understanding of the rail network

became key to managing operations and informing tactical decisions. Arguably, no Civil War

commander used the rail network to their advantage quite like Union General William

Tecumseh Sherman.
