Cedartown GA

In researching several records of Confederate soldiers in the 40th MS Inf Regt, I noticed that many soldiers "deserted at Cedartown, Ga" on 9 Nov 1864. Attempts to find out "why" have so far met with negative results. Can't seem to find out which elements/units were there and what caused the desertions (other than Lincoln's re-election. Would appreciate any information anyone may be able to provide.
