At the Battle of New Hope Church Sherman would not attack Johnston's army for it would be too expensive. Sherman moved around Johnston's left side, leading a march toward Dallas. Johnston saw this move coming and met Sherman at New Hope Church where Johnston took a force and ordered corps to attack. Johnston's corps were severly attacked.

During the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain, Sherman had suffered several casualities. Sherman had sent his troops in with too thin of a line and decided a frontal attack with diversions. Sherman's troops made some headway before they were attacked. He won the battle but, suffered a great loss of soldiers.
