Chickamauga

        The Battle of Chickamauga took place South East of Chattanooga, Tennessee. It was fought  September 19th and September 20th, 1863. It was known as the Union's biggest loss throughout the Civil War. The Union was led by Major General William Rosecrans while the Confederates were led by General Braxton Bragg. Somebody misinformed Rosecrans that there was a gap in his line of men and when he attempted to fix the gap that was not there, he created a real one. He made this mistake right near the path of thousands of armed and ready confederates. This mistake caused General Rosecrans and the Northern soldiers to lose a very important battle. In the end the South had 18,454 casualties while the North had 16,170. The Battle of Chickamauga had the second most casualties in the Civil War.
