Best Answer

Confederate strength was diminished when Confederate General Braxton Bragg, on November 4, sent a major part of his army under the command of General Longstreet to Knoxville. Bragg believed that Union forces in Kentucky would head south to Tennessee and take almost complete control of Tennessee.

How did Confederate General Braxton Bragg weaken the impact of his victory at Chickamauga in 1863?

The victory of Confederate General Braxton Bragg at Chickamauga was a serious set back for the Union in September of 1863. The value of his victory, however, was lessened by his slow follow up against a weakened Union army. Bragg's delay gave the Federals time to reorganize and fortify the railroad center at Chattanooga.
