During the Civil War, the town of Chattanooga in Tennessee, a secessionist state, was not a vital sea harbor. It did, however, serve as the site of a Civil War battle in November of 1863 in which Union forces, after initial setbacks, were victorious. This victory led to Union advances towards Atlanta and then, even further, to Sherman's famous "March to the Sea," which was one of the keys to the ultimate Union victory in the war.
