The most famous battle of the US Civil War that took place in Georgia was the battle of Atlanta. This was a major Confederate city and an important railway hub in the South.

The third bloodiest US Civil War battle was the Battle of Chickamauga. The battle began on September 19 and ended on the 20th. There near the Georgia and Tennessee border, the Union Army of the Cumberland led by General Rosencrans faced Confederate General Bragg and the Army of Tennessee. Bragg was helped by forces from General James Longstreet arrived and they were led by General John Bell Hood. It was one of the few major battles where the South held a slight advantage in troops. It was a costly victory for the South and it was burdened by 18,000 casualties and the North had about 16,000 casualties.
