Tuhia he haere tonu mō tēnei wāhanga - I te marama o Mei 1864, ka tīmata a Sherman i tana Campaign Atlanta. I whawhai a Foraker i roto i te maha o nga pakanga nanakia i taua pakanga, tae atu ki a Resaca
, New Hope Church, me te maunga o Kennesaw. I hinga a Atlanta, i te iti rawa rānei ko te mea i toe i muri i nga ahi kino, i te Mahuru 2. I tukuna a Foraker ki te kura o te Signal Corps i whakatuhia e te ope taua i Atlanta, ana i noho ia ki reira mo te marama kotahi. I whakawhiwhia ia ki te wehenga a Major General Henry W. Slocum, a i noho tonu ia ki taua wehenga i a ia e whai waahi ana ki te haerenga a Sherman ki te Moana, me te waiho i te whakangaromanga o muri. I te mutunga o Tihema 1864, ka tae te ope ki Savannah, ana ko Foraker, ahakoa he tupuhi, i taea te korero ki nga kaipuke US Navy ki waho ki te whakatupato ia ratou mo te aroaro o te ope a Sherman. I muri i te marama kotahi, ka haere te ope ki te raki ki South Carolina, i whakatau kia nui ake te whakangaromanga ki te kawanatanga i wehe tuatahi mai. Ko Foraker te kawenga mo te pupuri i nga tohu i waenga i nga parirau o te ope, a i tu ia i runga i te kaipuke pupuhi i a ia e neke ana i te awa o Savannah. I kite ia i te mahi kaha ake hei karere i waenga i te ope matua a Sherman me nga ope a Slocum i te Poutu-te-rangi 1865 i te wa i tutaki ai ratou ki nga ope Confederate i North Carolina i te Pakanga o Bentonville. I te ra o te pakanga, i te Poutu-te-rangi 19, 1865, i whakatairangahia a Foraker ki te rangatira rangatira, a, i muri tata mai ka waiho hei kaitiaki o te puni ki a General Slocum. I te marama o Paenga-whāwhā, i te wā e neke haere ana te ope o Sherman ki te raki, ka tae mai te rongo o te surrender o te Confederate general Robert E. Lee me ana ope i Appomattox, Virginia, ka mutu te pakanga. I te tīmatanga o Mei, ka haere te ope taua a Sherman o Georgia ki te raki ki Washington, ka haere ki te arotake i te 23 o Mei i mua i te peresideni hou, a Andrew Johnson, i oati i muri i te kohurutanga o Lincoln i te marama o mua. I muri tata mai ka hoki a Foraker ki Ohio, ka whakauruhia.
