The Dead Angle at Kennesaw Mountain | Atlanta Campaign | Sherman's March to The Sea

"The battle of 'Dead Angle,' was fought June 27, on the Kennesaw line, near Marietta, Georgia. Major General William T. Sherman was under the impression the Confederate lines were spread to thin and decided to launch a frontal assault against them. An intense artillery bombardment at 8:00 a.m. preceded the infantry assault. Confederate troops under the commands of Maj. Gens. Benjamin F. Cheatham and Patrick Cleburne manned a formidable line. The Union assault met stiff resistance and in turn they suffered heavy casualties. By 11am, the Union attack had failed. Lets learn why in this episode!
