Battles of Chattanooga

General Grant held on to the city of Chattanooga on the south side of the Tennessee River. The Confederates had his army surrounded on the higher mountains: ocuppying the Lookout Mountain to the west and Missionary Ridge to the east. Sherman's troops arrived with reinforcments. Then Grant made his move to re-position his armies. Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker, with three divisions, marched from Bridgeport through Lookout Valley towards Brown's Ferry from the south. At 3:00 am, on October 27, portions of Hazen's brigade embarked upon pontoons and floated around Moccasin Bend to Brown's Ferry. They then proceeded along the western side of Lookout Mountain and fought a rare night battles at Wauhatchie Station. See: http://www.cr.nps.gov/hps/abpp/battles/tn021.htm Then they proceeded to advance along the western slopes of Lookout Mountain and pivoted around the northern face and eventually captured this prominant landmark---the battle being called the Battle above the Clouds---even though there was little actual fighting on top of it. Just the day before, General Longstreet pulled his men out of the defenses. This weaken the Confederate army around Chattanooga. On November 23-24, Union forces struck out and captured Orchard Knob and Lookout Mountain. On November 25, Union soldiers assaulted and carried the seemingly impregnable Confederate position on Missionary Ridge. One of the Confederacy's two major armies was routed.

The North.

The First Battle of the Marne, fought from September 6 to September 12, 1914, resulted in significant casualties for both sides. Approximately 2.5 million men were engaged in the battle, with total casualties estimated to be around 500,000, including killed, wounded, and missing soldiers. The battle marked a crucial turning point in World War I, halting the German advance into France.

None, that was a battle between French troops and Mexicans in Mexico.

However, it is believed that France was intending to use Mexico as a base to support the confederate army, which could have altered the entire outcome of the American Civil War. The battle of Puebla was a major victory for revitalizing the Mexican army to force the French out of their country.

Unlike most high school and even college history books, the American Civil War included more than 3 or 4 battles. There were probably 100 that would be classified as a "battle". It would take too much time to list all of them. Recomment you go to National Park Service website. It has a listing of battles by State and a brief synopsis of the battle and lists its commanders and number of troops, etc. But this is not all of them, as they omitted some that they did not consider to be a battle.

There were 753 reported Union deaths and 361 Confederated deaths at the Battle of Chattanooga.

The victory of Chattanooga was important because opened to the Union the way to the invasion of Georgia and the investment of Atlanta, the next main strategic objective of that State. Furthermore, the vital Railway Atlanta-Chattanooga- Knoxville - Lynchburg- Richmond had been interrupted, giving a hard blow to the communication between western and eastern Confederate States..

On the 23rd of November, Union troops captured Orchard Knob, an elevation in the plain between Chattanooga and Missionary Ridge. Grant ordered an assault on Lookout Mountain at 8 A.M. on November 24th. The decisive phase of the battle began at 7 A.M. on November 25th, when Sherman's force attacked Confederate entrenchments on the northern slopes of Missionary Ridge.

The Battle of the Ardene's (commonly referred to as the Battle of the Bulge) lasted for 31 days. It began on December 16, 1944 when the German Army launched a massive artillery barrage followed by a 3 Army attack.

The battleof Kennesaw Mountain lasted for three days therfore it ended June 30, 1864.

When Sherman crossed Georgia, the Confederates cut the wires, so Lincoln received no reports of them for six weeks until they reached the coast and made contact with the US Navy.

Because Chattanooga was object of a Union offensive for two times before the so called Third Battle of Chattanooga.

The first one was put in motion on June 1862, when the commander of the Union Western Sector Major General Halleck, ordered Buell's Army of Ohio to advance towards Chattanooga marching along the railroad Nashville- Murfreesborough-Chattanooga. The offensive went slowly on and in July the Federals were somewhat next to reach their goal but two raids of the Confederate cavalry, led by Morgan and Forrest, interrupted their long line of

communication, thus forcing the Union divisions to stop the action.

The second one started on August 16, 1863. It was led and successfully carried out by Major General Rosencrans, who after a brilliant advance succeeded in outflanking the Confederate Army under Bragg forcing them to move out of Chattanooga on September 9,1863.

General Beauregard was one of the original five Full Generals of the Confederacy.

He fired the first shots of the war, at Fort Sumter. And at the war's first pitched battle at Manassas, he was given special authority on account of his intimate knowledge of the terrain.

He was then posted to Western Tennessee, where he missed his opportunity to destroy Grant's army at Shiloh. After this, his health began to fail and he was replaced by General Bragg as the commander of the Army of Mississippi.

In 1863, Confederate General Bragg sent General Longstreet and 12, 000 of his men away to try to dislodge a Union unit. This would leave him badly outnumbered when it came time for the big battle.

The town was renamed "Hell-in Arkansas."

After the Union disaster at the Battle of Chickamauga, the US Department of War gave US Grant the authority to retake Chattanooga from the Confederates. Crucial there was the replacement of General Rosencrans with General Thomas as commander of the Army of the Cumberland. US Grant had a hand in this change change and thereby increased his confidence in a Union victory.
