Shown here is a map of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga campaigns during the American (US) Civil The Confederate army secured a decisive victory at Chickamauga (Sept 18-20, 1863) but lost 20 percent of its force in battle. After two days of fierce fighting, the Rebels broke through Union lines and forced the Federals into a siege at Chattanooga. The Federals’ victory at Chattanooga (Nov 23-25, 1863) opened up the Deep South for a Union invasion and set the stage for Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman’s Atlanta Campaign the following spring.
