    Questions Possibly Related to Bulls Gap, Tennessee

    Provided By Y! Answers

    Can someone help me with the importance of each battle/battle site in the Civil War, November 1864.?
    Question:
    The battles needed are Johnsonville Tennessee, Bull's Gap Tennessee,Columbia Tennessee,Spring Hill Tennessee,Franklin Tennessee,Griswoldville Georgia,Buck Head Creek Georgia,Honey Hill South Carolina. All I need to know is why were these battles important. Thanks

    Answer:
    This is really hard to answer here, you might want to do a search of each battle and compare them to see what you come up with on your own, but I'll give it a try. All of the battles listed that were fought in Tennessee was part of Hood's campaign to retake Middle Tennessee and possibly even Kentucky. This took place after Sherman had taken the city of Atlanta and Hood was basically trying to draw Union forces out of Atlanta and force them to chase his army north into Tennessee, cutting Sherman's army in half. This tactic was successful in doing this but Hood's Army of Tennessee was soundly defeated at Franklin, and a few days later at Nashville, TN.. These defeats essentially destroyed Hood's confederate army. The battles listed that took place in Georgia and South Carolina were part of Sherman's Campaign for Savannah and the Carolinas. I suppose you could say that many of these battles would not have happened if Hood had not been successful in drawing Schofield's Corps out of Atlanta to defend Nashville because it took almost 20,000 men away from Sherman for his march to the sea. The Confederate forces in Southeast Georgia and South Carolina, at this point in the war, were very poorly equipt and in no shape to fight such a large federal force, so they would most likely have just retreated and tried to join forces for a better defence of the region. But since Sherman's Army was quite a bit smaller than anticipated due to the loss of Schofield's Corps and because they were so spread out across the entire area, the smaller Confederate units felt that they could effectively slow Sherman's Advance by taking a stand and attacking when possible. I would say that the main importance of these battles is that they marked the begining of the end for Confederate forces in the Western Theater and the Deep South. Hood's Confederate Army of Tennessee was destroyed. Gen. Joe Johnston's Army of the South was retreating into North Carolina. The Confederacy had been cut in half by Sherman's March to the Sea. The South's most important cities of Atlanta, Savannah, Charleston, and Columbia had been captured by Federal forces. Lincoln had been reelected as President of The United States so all hopes for a negotiated peace were gone. The morale of the average Confederate Soldier was crushed by defeats and lack of supplies. The Confederacy was basically finished. Hope this helps you out.
