ChatannoogaNov 24, 1863. After reinforcing the besieged Union army at Chattanooga, TN, General Ulysses S. Grant launched the Battle of Chattanoogaon this date. Falsely secure in the belief that his troops were in an impregnable position on Lookout Mountain, Confederate general Braxton Bragg and his army were overrun by the Union forces, Bragg himself barely escaping capture.
