There were three battles fought at Chattanooga, Tennessee. They were:
The first Battle of Chattanooga on June 7-8, 1862 was a minor artillery bombardment.
The second Battle of Chattanooga on August 21, 1863 resulted in Bragg evacuating the city after bombardment of Union artillery.
The third Battle of Chattanooga, or the Chattanooga Campaign, resulted in Grant defeating Confederate General Braxton Bragg. It was fought November 23-25, 1863.
Tennessee was part of the Confederacy. It was in a location that the Confedearcy and the Union believed was vital to the interests of winning the war. Since it bordered on a Union State, Kentucky, this placed Tennessee in danger of attacks from the North. The capital of Nasville was the home of a major railway depot. This needed to be protected from a Southern point of view, and a logical city to capture from a Union view.
By 1862, Grant's Union army captured Fort Henry in Tennessee.
The western part of the State also had a Mississippi coastline. This was another point of contention.
The inability of the Confedercy to protect and hold Tennessee placed the State with a pattern of Union pressure that dominated it throughout the war.
The affects were destroyed cities, canals & loss of life on the Tennessee people.
