The Battle of Chattanooga took place from November 23 to 25, 1863, during the American Civil War in and around Chattanooga, Tennessee. Union forces under General Ulysses S. Grant faced Confederate troops commanded by General Braxton Bragg. After a series of hard-fought engagements, including the battles of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge, the Union army achieved a decisive victory. The success opened the gateway to the Deep South, paving the way for General William T. Sherman’s Atlanta Campaign. The battle marked a major turning point in favor of the Union.
