Explain how the soldiers in the army of the cumberland took things into their own hands at missionary ridge?
Confederate forces posted on Missionary Ridge were posted on geographic top as opposed to " military crest". Cannon and small arms could not be depressed far enough to bear upon the oncoming Union forces. In some of the oncoming Union forces, casualties reached 30 percent. Others had far fewer casualties due to the lay of the land and where they were in line. Once the rifle pits were taken at the bottom of the hill. Union soldiers found that they could not stay where they were without taking further casualties, nor could they retreat for the rest of two (2) armies were watching. The Army of the Cumberland was also well aware that Grant did not think that they were able to fight any sort of offenive battle and win. Grant also wanted the glory to go to his trusted lieutenant, Sherman. When that attack failed (Sherman's), only then did Grant send the Army of the Cumberland forward. The attack was so unexpected, and in some places protected due to the lay of the land, and with the defenses so poorly laid out, that the Union forces were able to attack and overwhelm the Confederate forces and rout Bragg's army. For the soldiers of the Army of the Cumberland, to attack the riflepits at the bottom of the hill were one thing, for them to hold them were another. To stay at the base of the hill and die or to charge the tormentors at the top of the hill were the choices that they had. They did not think nor did they await orders. They charged up the hill.
