Answer:

He was in danger of being trapped in the city.

Step-by-step explanation:

General Hood reputable for his reckless millitary tactics. When he saw that he was constantly outmaneuvered by the Union forces, he tried breaking their advances by direct fighting. When the union soldiers destroyed his supply railway line, he had to withdraw so as not to be trapped there in Atlanta.
