Fought in Tennessee and Georgia from the 18th through the 20th of September 1863, the Battle of Chickamauga was a battle of blunders. The Confederates attacked the Union line repeatedly, looking for gaps that were not there. The Union CO, Braxton Bragg, thought there was a gap in his line, and moved troops to compensate. He was wrong. Moving his troops, however, did create a gap, which forced a retreat.

The Battle of Fredericksburg was fought in mid-December, 1862, and resulted in 18,030 casualties, the most of the war. Ambrose E. Burnside lost to Robert E. Lee while trying to cross the Rappahannock River at Fredericksburg on his way to the Confederate capital of Richmond, VA.

The Battle of Cold Harbor occurred from the 31st of May to the 12th of June, 1864, near Mechanicsville, Virginia. The battle was fought by Generals Lee and Grant, and while Lee won, it was a Pyrrhic victory, as the south soon began its slide into defeat.

When this first battle of the final push to crush the Confederacy began, it pitted the two great generals of the war against each other. Eventually, Grant disengaged to fight again another day, but it was not a retreat, so there was no victor.

From May 8th to July 4th, 1863, Union forces pushed back the CSA from its last remaining stronghold on the Mississippi River, backing the CSA into Vicksburg, Mississippi. During the siege of the city, Grant was joined by General Sherman, who soon thereafter began his "march to the sea."

The Battle of the Five Forks was won by Philip Sheridan with a bit of luck. First of all, the CSA was running low on ammunition and the Union forces chose the right moment to strike. Second, poor intelligence resulted in the flanking unit not hitting its target, but finding targets of opportunity and running roughshod over the Confederate flank anyway,

While the Battle of Beaver Dam Creek was a tactical victory for the Union, it was a strategic victory for the CSA as part of Lee's counter-strike against the Union. The major influence on the battle's outcome was Stonewall Jackson not arriving in time to aid Lee.

Fort Pillow was built by the CSA and taken by the Union in the war. Nathan Bedford Forrest led his men to take back Fort Pillow in this battle, but the battle is best known for what happened afterward. The Union soldiers surrendered. Many of them were black soldiers, recently allowed to fight by the president. The Confederate soldiers massacred them, one of the darkest events in the history of the United States.

Hood went into this battle having been humiliated by General Sherman, and well motivated to find victories where he could. Nashville had already been captured by the Union, and Hood intended to return it to the CSA. He failed, forced into retreat again.
