Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - I whawhai te rārangi ki a Jackson i ngā Pakanga o ngā Rā e whitu i te rohe o Richmond, Virginia. I muri i tera, i wehe a Cantey ka tukuna ki Mobile, Alabama mai i te Hanuere 1863 ki te Paenga-whawha 1864, i reira i whakahaerehia ai e ia he pirihimana e toru nga puhipuhi o Alabama me tetahi puhipuhi o Mississippi. Kātahi ka whakawhiti atu a Cantey ki te ope taua o Tennessee. I tohua ia hei rangatira rangatira mo te taumata mai i te Hanuere 8, 1863. He maha nga wa i ngaro ia i tana whakahau na te mate, engari i arahi ano ia i tetahi waahanga mo te wa poto i te marama o Mei me te Pipiri 1864. I whawhai tana parirau i te Campaign Atlanta me te Campaign Franklin-Nashville (Hood's Tennessee Campaign). I a ia e noho ana, i arahi ia i te piritiata me te rereketanga, penei i te wa i tu ai tana piritiata i te kaha nui ake o te Uniana i te Pakanga o Resaca
Ko Georgia.
