Why did the Union win the Pea Ridge battle?
Arkansas was a key Confederate State. Southern forces and their Cherokee Indian allies were a threat to Missouri and St. Louis. The Union forces, however, began a march from Missouri south to northwestern Arkansas. Union forces were led by General Samuel Curtis. The Confederates had joined forces under generals Van Dorn, McColloch, and McIntosh.The ensuing battle between these forces were to begin on March 6, 1862 with the nighttime maneuver of Van Dorn's troops.Part of the reason of the Confederate loss at the Battle of Pea Ridge, or as it is also called, Elkhorn Tavern, was due to the deaths of Southern generals McColloch and McIntosh. These deaths demoralized the Southern troops. Also, General Van Dorn was sick with fever and had to command from a stretcher. Despite this, the Confederates had placed themselves in a good tactical position.Before the actual conflict, Van Dorn accomplished the daring evening march of his men to be positioned at the rear of the Union Army. Union scouts alerted General Curtis to this fact and in turn, moved his forces on March 7 to prepare for the Confederate attack. The forces of McColloch advanced with some success towards Curtis's troops from the west. As the battle progressed, McColloch was killed and this had a bad affect on his men. They then retreated. Not all was lost, however, as Southern troops, under the command of Van Horn's subordinate, general Price, drove the Union troops back until they ran low on ammunition. The next day, March 8, Union forces from the east joined Curtis's main forces. Curtis, with heavy artillery, counter attacked and drove the Southern forces into a retreat. The Battle of Pea Ridge was lost.In summation, to answer the question of why the Union won this battle was:* The ability of Union General Curtis to defend his rear from Van Dorn and the loss of Confederate McClloch's troops that fell into retreat on March 7; and* The fierce counter attack by Curtis, with the huge advantage of superior artillery.
