HOOD’S CAMPAIGN
Union Gen. William T. Sherman and hisarmy occupied Atlanta, Georgia, on Sep-
tember 2, 1864, after defeating ConfederateGen. John Bell Hood and the Army of Ten-nessee. Sherman rested his army for severalweeks and planned his next moves. When Hoodbegan ranging northwest against Sherman’ssupply lines, Sherman dispatched troops toNashville under Gen. George H. Thomas. Thelines became less critical to Sherman onNovember 15, when he began the “March tothe Sea” to open more secure lines and destroyConfederate resources. Rather than pursueSherman, on November 22 Hood moved northfrom Alabama to Tennessee, hoping to drawFederal attention from the Deep South andperhaps to invade Kentucky. The two largestarmies in the region thus marched away fromeach other instead of fighting. In Ten-nessee, however, Thomas sent Union Gen.John M. Schofield’s division to delayHood’s advance at Columbia and SpringHill. Schofield then fell back to Franklin.The bloodbath there on November 30crippled Hood’s force, but the Confeder-ates followed Schofield to the outskirtsof Nashville and Thomas’s strongdefenses. Hood besieged the city for the
next two weeks. On December 15–16, the Fed-erals sallied forth from their defenses andcrushed Hood’s army, effectively ending hiscampaign as the remnants of the Army of Ten-nessee fled to Tupelo, Mississippi. Some of thearmy then joined Gen. Joseph E. Johnston inNorth Carolina.

WAR IN EAST TENNESSEE
LargelyUnionist East Tennesseewas strate-gically important forCumberlandGap (the
gateway toVirginia, Kentucky, andTennessee)and the rail lines that connectedBristol,Knoxville, Chattanooga, andAtlanta, aswell asMemphis andRichmond.PresidentAbrahamLincoln appointedAndrewJohnson, a nativeof the region, Tennessee’smilitary governor.Gen. SamuelP. Carter, aU.S.Naval Academygraduate, gained fame inEast Tennessee as acavalry raider. Ironically, theFederals heldmost of the secessionist areas,while theCon-federates dominated theUnionist parts.ManyUnionistswhoburned railroadbridges in 1861were quickly seized and executed.
UnionGen.AmbroseE.Burnside occu-piedKnoxville inSeptember 1863,whileCon-federateGen.BraxtonBragg occupiedChat-tanooga.UnionGen.WilliamS.RosecransforcedBragg out. After theBattle ofChicka-mauga,Georgia, theFederals occupiedChattanooga,whichBragg thenbesieged,dispatchingGen. JamesLongstreet to attackKnoxville. TheFederals brokeBragg’s siegeat theBattle ofMissionaryRidge, compellinghim to retreat, andLongstreet likewise suf-fereddefeat atKnoxville. By the endof theyear, East Tennesseewas firmly inUnionhands, and the rail line toGeorgiawas open.InMay 1864,Gen.WilliamT. ShermanusedChattanooga as the platform for hisAtlantacampaign.No other large-scale battlesoccurred in the region for the rest of thewar.Late in 1864, theFederals launched cavalryraids against the railroads fromEastTennessee intoVirginia andNorthCarolina.
1863 1 86518611862 1864
At the beginning of the war, thecavalry gathered intelligence,screened the army from theenemy’s cavalry, and served as
mounted pickets. In the East, Confederatecavalry commander J.E.B. Stuart raisedthe routine reconnaissance mission to thelevel of art when his command rode com-pletely around the Federal army in 1862.Legendary partisan cavalryman John S.Mosby (the Gray Ghost) later harried theUnion army to distraction in NorthernVirginia.
In the West, three cavalry command-ers, John Hunt Morgan, Nathan BedfordForrest, and Joseph Wheeler attained leg-endary status.Wheeler, aWest Point gradu-ate, had spentmost of his life in theNorth.Morgan had served briefly in the MexicanWar as a private. Forrest was self-taught.All of them, regardless of experience, werebold, imaginative, and determined menwho could usually out-think and out-fighttheir opponents.
John Hunt Morgan seemed a naturalcavalryman. Tall, dashing, impeccablydressed, and finely mounted, Morgan wasborn to a prominent Kentucky family. In aseries of raids in Tennessee and Kentucky,he appeared invincible regardless of theFederal forces arrayed against him. Hefollowed his July1862 Kentuckyraid with anotherin the winter inMiddle Tennessee,destroying tworailroad tunnelsto disrupt Unionsupply lines forseveral weeks.Morgan led hismost spectacularraid in July 1863,rampaging

THE CIVIL WAR REVISITED� � � � � � � �
Much of the fighting in Middle and West Tennessee was focused not only on the rail-
roads but also on the Mississippi, Tennessee, andCumberland Rivers. They were watery avenuesof invasion for Federal forces, the keys to split-ting the Confederacy.
The first significant Union victories in WestTennessee occurred on the Tennessee and Cum-berland Rivers in February 1862, when a Federalarmy-navy expedition under Gen. Ulysses S.Grant captured Forts Henry and Donelson.Henry, on the Tennessee, was the first to fall onFebruary 6. Donelson, on the Cumberland, sur-rendered on February 16. Several Confederateunits escaped, including Col. Nathan BedfordForrest and his cavalry.
The first large-scale battle in West Ten-nessee occurred near Pittsburg Landing on theTennessee River. Better known as the Battle ofShiloh, the two-day fight on April 6–7, 1862, wasalmost a Confederate victory on the first day.Gen.AlbertSidneyJohnstonmarchednorth fromCorinth, Mississippi, and struck Grant’s army,overrunning the camp and pushing the Federalsalmost into the river. Johnston, wounded whileencouraging his troops, bled to death from a sev-eredartery. Thenext day,Grant counterattacked,forcing the Confederates back to Corinth.
Federal forces captured New Orleans at theend of April 1862 and occupied Memphis in June,securing the lower and upper reaches of the Mis-sissippi River. In October, Grant began an over-land campaign to capture Vicksburg, Mississippi.He marched from La Grange in West Tennessee,down the Mississippi Central Railroad towardVicksburg with trainloads of supplies following.

The Emancipation Proclamationissued onJanuary 1, 1863, author-ized the enlistment of AfricanAmerican soldiers. By June, in
Tennessee, Gen. Lorenzo Thomas hadrecruited 3,000 men. By the end of thewar, he had enlisted 24,000 soldiers for 22infantry regiments and 8 artillery units.Nationwide, 200,000 men served in blackunits known as U.S. Colored Troops(USCTs) and in the Navy.
White officers at first restrictedUSCTs to support functions such asguarding wagon trains, supply depots,and prisoners. They also constructedforts and railroads, then were posted asguards. Eager to prove their worth incombat, theUSCTs soon had their chance.In December 1863, at Moscow, the 61stUSCT repulsed Confederate Gen.Stephen D. Lee’s cavalry as it tore up rail-road track. At Fort Pillow, on the Missis-sippi River, USCTs fought Gen. NathanBedford Forrest’s command on April 12,1864, then were overrun and killed aftersurrendering. For the remainder of theyear, USCTs engaged Forrest at Brice’sCrossroads and Tupelo, Mississippi, atAthens, Alabama, and at Pulaski, Ten-nessee. They also fought with distinctionin the Battle of Nashville in December.The Tennessee USCTs mustered out ofservice betweenApril 1865 andApril 1866,having suffered about 4,500 casualties.

In December, however, Forrest launched a raidinto West Tennessee, destroying railroads andsevering Grant’s supply line. Forrest fought vic-toriously at Lexington, captured Trenton andUnion City, and ranged into Kentucky. He raidedback through Tennessee, then evaded defeat atParker’s Crossroads. Grant changed his supplybase to Memphis; he finally captured Vicksburgon July 4, 1863.
An especially bloody battle occurred inMiddle Tennessee at Murfreesboro, December31, 1862–January 2, 1863. Confederate Gen. Brax-ton Bragg’s Army of Tennessee occupied thecountry around Murfreesboro after his invasionof Kentucky and the Battle of Perryville. UnionGen. William S. Rosecrans’s Army of the Cumber-land advanced from Nashville. During the firstday’s fighting, a surprise Confederate flankattack nearly swept the Federals from the field.
WAR IN MIDDLE AND WEST TENNESSEE
Rosecrans held on and over the next two daysseriously bloodied Bragg’s army. Federalcannon fire decimated the final Confederateattack on the afternoon of January 2. TheBattle of Stones River resulted in more than23,000 casualties out of about 81,000 soldiersengaged. A few days later Bragg retreatedsouth to Tullahoma, and Rosecrans occupiedMurfreesboro. U.S. forces built the massiveFortress Rosecrans to guard the railroad andto serve as a supply station.
Middle and West Tennessee experiencedU.S. military occupation, foraging expeditionsby both sides, and Confederate cavalry raidson railroads and Union garrisons. Forrest andJohn Hunt Morgan, usually serving with theArmy of Tennessee, attacked Federal supplylines and intimidated Tennessee Unionists.Forrest guarded the Confederate left flankearly in 1863 while Morgan covered the rightflank. Forrest fought in Mississippi and WestTennessee after a disagreement with Braggduring the Chickamauga Campaign.
Because of the frequent and successfulConfederate raids, the Federals correctly sus-pected collusion with the local population.Civilian spies and Confederate scouts—suchas Confederate Sam Davis, who was capturedand executed—provided valuable informa-tion. In addition, bushwhackers and guerrillaunits on each side attacked military units andcivilians, sometimes as a military tactic andsometimes to settle personal scores. Confed-erate Champ Ferguson was the most notorious of these raiders. The resulting resentmentslingered for generations.
September 4 –19 Antietam Campaign, Va., Md.
Middle and West Tennessee. He also fought hisway out of a Federal envelopment at Parker’sCrossroads, adding to his legend. The appar-ent massacre of black Federal troops at FortPillow, Tennessee, on April 12, 1864, however,tarnished Forrest’s legacy. After the war, Forrest returned to farming and pursuedbusiness interests. He died in Memphis onOctober 29, 1877. William T. Sherman, assess-ing Forrest’s military career, pronounced him“the most remarkable man our Civil War produced on either side.”
Joseph Wheeler began the war as a lieu-tenant but became commander of the Army of Tennessee’s cavalry by the fall of 1862. His successful raid behind Union lines beforethe Battle of Stones River made his reputa-tion. In February 1863, he unsuccessfullyattacked Dover to block Cumberland Rivershipping to Federals in Nashville. After theBattle of Chickamauga in the fall of 1863,Wheeler launched another spectacular raidagainst Union supply lines, riding up theSequatchie Valley and then into occupiedMiddle Tennessee before returning to Ala-bama. After the war, Wheeler served in Con-gress and returned to U.S. Army service as amajor general during the Spanish-AmericanWar and in the Philippines.

through Indiana and Ohio, was captured andconfined in the Ohio State Penitentiary, andthen escaped. A Federal cavalryman killed himin Greeneville, Tennessee, on September 4, 1864,when he tried to escape after being surrounded.
Nathan Bedford Forrest was the antithesisof the gentlemanly Morgan. A self-made man,Forrest was a successful planter and slave traderbefore the war. Whereas Morgan was an officerfrom the start, Forrest enlisted as a private andthen rose to the rank of brigadier general inlittle more than a year. Forrest’s personality,like that of Mosby, had a ruthless edge—unlikethe charm and gaiety that Morgan and Stuartexhibited. Forrest’s intuitive grasp of cavalrytactics and his ferocious fighting ability madehim the most feared of Confederate cavalrycommanders. He built his reputation on a seriesof stunning raids against Union supply lines in
