Battle of Chickamauga
The last major Confederate victory of the American Civil War.
Coming after defeat at Gettysburg and the loss of Vicksburg,
Chickamauga gave Confederate supporters a last brief hope of
victory. On September 19-20, Union General Rosecrans led his
troops against Confederate General Braxton Bragg seven miles
south of Chattanooga at Chickamauga Creek. Bragg’s Army
defeated the Union forces and forced the Union Army back into
Tennessee. Bragg did not follow up on the Union retreat and allowed the Union troops to regroup and maintain
control of Chattanooga. This gave the Union army access to many large rivers and the ability to control southern
railway and block supply shipments to the south. By November 1863, General Ulysses Grant had arrived with
more troops and recaptured Chattanooga, forcing Bragg to retreat south to Dalton. Union casualties were around
16,200-Capture and Control Chattanooga Confederate losses around 18,000-push the Union army out of Georgia.
