What became the Union's next military priority after the Confederate defeats at Gettysburg and Vicksburg?
After the Confederate defeats at Gettysburg and Vicksburg, the City of Chattanooga, Tennessee became the Union's next priority. On July 7, 1863, Confederate General Braxton Bragg and his Army of Tennessee occupied Chattanooga. If the Union could defeat Bragg's forces and take over Chattanooga, there would be a pathway to the South's last major rail center at Atlanta. Also, beyond Atlanta lay the rich farmlands of central Georgia.As he had done earlier, Union General Rosencrans was not eager to move against Bragg's army. Again, with prodding from Washington DC, Rosencrans swung around Chattanooga and moved into northwest Georgia. This move threatened Bragg's lines of communication and supplies, forcing him to abandon Chattanooga to protect them. The vacuum left by Bragg in Chattanooga was filled by a small Union force which gained easy control of the city.
