On May 19, 1864, Johnston, entrenched on the ridge east of Cassville, planned to give battle, but Sherman threatened his flank and his corps commanders objected to the position. He therefore withdrew to Allatoona Pass. Rather than attack this strong position, Sherman moved past it toward New Hope Church.
