37 Weeks
Week 19 (August 25 - August 31)
Episode 19 | 1m 45s
Following 5 weeks of blasts and continued stalemate, an odd silence descends on Atlanta.
Sherman’s five-week attempt to fire Atlanta into submission isn’t working. With the Confederate army controlling the Macon Railroad, the siege is a stalemate. In the North, President Lincoln fears losing re-election if he is beaten, the war not won. On August 26, Atlanta residents awaken to a deafening silence. Union lines are empty: Sherman is gone, but no one knows what his next move will be.
