Historical Significance

In September 1863, Union and Confederate forces clashed in the Battle of Chickamauga, a crucial fight for control over Chattanooga, often referred to as the "Gateway to the Deep South." Although the Confederates emerged victorious in Chickamauga, the tide turned in November with the Union's triumph in Chattanooga. This marked a significant turning point in the war, as a Confederate soldier ominously noted, "This...is the death-knell of the Confederacy."
