On this day in 1863, General Ulysses S. Grant defeated General Braxton Bragg’s Confederate forces in the Battle of Missionary Ridge during the American Civil War. The Union forces forced the defeated Confederate Army of Tennessee to retreat to Georgia ending the siege of Union forces in Chattanooga, Tennessee thus routing one of the Confederacy’s two major armies. The Union now held undisputed control of the state of Tennessee, including Chattanooga, the “Gateway to the Lower South.”
