The Battle of Prairie Grove took place in Arkansas. The Union wanted to control as much of this Confederate State as possible. Confederate commander Hindman was forced to take a defensive position as more Union troops were on the way. On December 7, 1862, Union artillery barrages drove many Confederates from the ridge near Prairie Grove. Union troops under Herron attacked the confederate ridge position but the Confederates counter attacked from three sides. Union reinforcements arrived and during the night the Confederates left the ridge. Northern Arkansas became under the control of the Union the rest of the war.
