349 Union soldiers went missing during the Battle of Chattanooga.
They called the Confederate soldiers the Rebels or "Rebs"
Yes there were. Although the Union outnumbered the Confederate soldiers...
They wanted to capture the besieged Union Army of Cumberland, secure the vital line of lateral communication in the south and prevent Georgia from being invaded again.

A bad mixture of boredom and privation. The Army of the Cumberland, besieged in Chattanooga, almost starved until U.S. Grant managed to force a crossing of the Tennessee river. Thanks to scorched-earth tactics by Sherman and Sheridan, all the Confederate units were starving by the time of Appomattox. Many Confederate soldiers went barefoot. It was said that they fought with particular keenness for the chance of stripping enemy corpses of their boots. And on both sides, wounded soldiers usually died - medical services and supplies were virtually nil.
