The union planned to begin exerting pressure on Tennessee due to its strategic significance as a border state with key transportation routes and resources. By targeting Tennessee, the union aimed to disrupt Confederate supply lines and weaken their military capabilities. Additionally, securing Tennessee would bolster the union's position in the southern theater of the Civil War, potentially encouraging other border states to align with the union cause.
