It was fought on September 18\u201320, 1863, and marked the end of the Union&#8217;s offensive across northwestern Georgia and southeastern Tennessee. This article will cover the battle in more detail, including how it ended. It&#8217;s worth reading this entire history of the Civil War before you decide to visit this important historical site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city of Chickamauga is nestled on the southern fringe of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park. This site includes the Gordon-Lee Mansion, Lee and Gordon&#8217;s Mills, and the Veterans of All Wars Museum. This area is also known as the &#8220;Gettysburg of the South,&#8221; because it is steeped in Civil War heritage. It is also home to the largest concentration of Union casualties in the Western Theater, second only to Gettysburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The history of the Chickamauga Battlefield is fascinating and the town&#8217;s citizens take great pride in maintaining the town&#8217;s charm and historic beauty. The downtown district is filled with unique shops and restaurants, while the city&#8217;s museums and historical sites make for an educational trip. And the city is so charming and unique, you&#8217;ll be tempted to come back again. Once you&#8217;ve seen Chickamauga, you&#8217;ll be able to tell it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Battle of Chickamauga was the largest battle of the war in Georgia, and the only one to involve both sides. The resulting conflict resulted in the death of over 34,000 Union soldiers, and it was the first major battle fought in Georgia. It was the second largest war in history, and it is the third largest in the Western Theater. The onset of the civil war in the south meant that the Confederacy was forced to retreat into the North.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Confederate Army of Tennessee and the Union Army of the Cumberland were at the forefront of the conflict. The battle was fought in the mountains near Chattanooga, Tennessee. The battle of Chickamauga was the second largest battle of the war, and it resulted in nearly 35,000 casualties. While Gettysburg produced more deaths than any other, it was second in the total number of casualties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Union forces fought on Horseshoe Ridge, which acted as their right wing, but the Confederates had been preparing for the battle for months. The Union forces held the area until twilight, while the Confederate army occupied the surrounding heights. As a result, the battle of Chickamauga lasted for nearly three weeks and was the most costly in the western theater of the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The battle of Chickamauga is the most famous Civil War battle. In addition to the main battle, the Confederate army fought a series of smaller battles in the area. The first of these battles, known as the Battle of Chickamauga, was a key moment for the Union&#8217;s campaign in the war. The Allied forces were at the mercy of the enemy&#8217;s advancing troops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Battle of Chickamauga was a battle fought in the American Civil War between U.S. and Confederate forces.
