  • Civil War Troop Movements Across the Plateau Following the Tullahoma Campaign Ralph Thompson
    Civil War Troop Movements Across the Plateau Following the Tullahoma Campaign Ralph Thompson Part 1 of a 2 Part Series The Civil War began in 1861 and ended in 1865. The war’s turning point came in 1863 and was signaled by three main events. The first was the Union’s siege of Vicksburg, which gave the North control of the Mississippi River. The second was the Union victory at the Battle of Gettysburg, which stopped the South’s deepest penetration into Northern territory. After Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s defeat at Gettysburg, Lee was forced to fight a series of losing battles in defense of Richmond. The third event that turned the tide of the war against the South was the loss of Tennessee. The state was critical for two reasons. The first was that its agricultural products were being used to supply the Confederate Army, and second, Chattanooga was a major railway hub that controlled the movement of supplies and equipment and was the gateway to the South. In 1862, Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton wrote that the occupation of Chattanooga was regarded by the President as “nearly as important as the capture of Richmond.” The final series of battles for control of Tennessee began in December of 1862 when Union General William S. Rosecrans’ Army of the Cumberland moved against Confederate General Braxton Bragg’s Army of Tennessee at the Battle of Stones River (Murfreesboro). A defeated Bragg retreated to Tullahoma and thus began the Tullahoma Campaign. After an extended period to resupply and train, Rosecrans moved again against Bragg.
