Between the Union Army of the Cumberland under the command of Major General William Rosecrans (1819 - 1898), and the Confederate Army of the Tennessee under General Braxton Bragg 1817 - 1876). Before Chickamauga, Rosecrans won several victories in the Tullahoma Campaign, including successfully forcing Bragg's Confederates out of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Rosecrans divided his forces to pursue the fleeing Bragg. Bragg set up a trap for the perusing Union forces, but incompetence among his subordinates, caused the trap to fail. On the Union side, Rosecrans realizing his army narrowly escaped the trap, consolidated forces and withdrew to Chattanooga. In the meantime, Confederate reinforcements bolstered Bragg's ranks, giving him a numerical advantage. After days of maneuvering as each side postured for a tactical advantage, the Battle of Chickamauga was fought from September 18 to September 20, 1863. On the 20th, Rosecrans was misinformed that a gap opened in his front line. In trying to fill the fictional gap, he created an factual gap directly in front of the charging Confederate force. A third of Union Army was routed in a single charge. Although Union forces rallied and closed the gap, the battle was lost. That evening, chastised Union forces returned to Chattanooga and the pursuing Confederates took the high ground laying siege to the city. The siege was not broken until the Chattanooga Campaign, led by General Ulysses S. Grant. Grant's victories forced Bragg's Army of Tennessee into retreat and opened the way for General William T. Sherman's 1864 Atlanta Campaign. This map comes with a white border around the image --------------------------- -How are the maps shipped?
