Chickamauga & Chattanooga National Military Park - Auto Touring in Fort Oglethorpe, GA

Chickamauga & Chattanooga National Military Park

In 1863, Union and Confederate forces fought for control of Chattanooga, known as the "Gateway to the Deep South." The Confederates were victorious at nearby Chickamauga in September. However, renewed fighting in Chattanooga that November provided Union troops victory and control of the city. After the fighting, a Confederate soldier ominously wrote, "This...is the death-knell of the Confederacy."
