There were many battles in Tennessee.

Grant came to prominence by driving the Confederates out of Western Tennessee, and eventually liberating the Mississippi.

Although Eastern Tennessee was largely pro-Union, the Confederates under Braxton Bragg were able to besiege Chattanooga for several weeks.

When Grant was promoted General-in-Chief in March 1864, he gave Sherman the task of destroying the Army of Tennessee. It took many months before George Thomas finally routed them at Nashville in December.
