Answer 2

The statement that is true about the final years of the Civil War is "The North continued to wear down the South, especially with victory in Atlanta."

Step-by-step explanation:

The period in the American Civil War called the Atlanta campaign describes a series of battles throughout northwest Georgia and the area around Atlanta in 1864. The Union General William Tecumseh Sherman entered Georgia in May of that year. The Union armies succeeded in making Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston and his army withdraw toward Atlanta. The Confederate president, Jefferson Davis, sought a change and appointed General John Bell Hood who was more aggressive at challenging the Union Army but Hood's army was eventually overcome and the city of Atlanta fell to the Union forces on September 2. This allowed Sherman's men to move on south towards Savannah in what came to be called the "March to the Sea" and eventually the war would come to an end after this point.
