Chattanooga, Battle of a decisive battle fought at Chattanooga, on the Tennessee River, from November 23–25, 1863, during the
Civil War. In September 1863, a Southern army commanded by Gen.
Braxton Bragg besieged a Federal army led by Gen.
William S. Rosecrans at Chattanooga, a vital Confederate railroad junction. In the following month, Gen.
Ulysses S. Grant took charge of the campaign and seized the offensive. He opened a new and protected line of supply, via Brown's Ferry, and reinforcements from Gen.
Joseph Hooker and Gen.
William T. Sherman arrived. Hooker captured
Lookout Mountain (November 24) on the left of Bragg's line; and the next day, Grant attacked all along the line, defeating the Confederate center on
Missionary Ridge and thereby lifting the siege. The Confederate Army retreated to Georgia by the end of the month. Union losses numbered some 6,000; Confederate some 7,000.
