Chickamauga and Chattanooga

In the year 1863 the civil war began to travel towards the south. The Battle of Chickamauga was the first major battle in Georgia. The General for the Confederacy did not pursue the Union right away but in the end the south won. During the battle the Union came from the north and met the Confederacy at Chickmauga. The Union later retreated heading back north. Later The Battle of Chattanooga was when the Union was trapped up until General Grant was able to open a supply line for the north. This location later became the the supply center for the Atlanta Campaign. When General Grant opened the supply line his army could finally march into Georgia.
