The battle of chickamauga took place in summer of 1863 in lafayette georgia. The Confederate had won the battle with general bragg. This war was one of the bloodiest wars in history. This resulted in 16000 union casualties and nearly over 18,500 were wounded or killed in the confederate army. This battle was one of the most important battles in Georgia because this battle was a surprise attack for both sides. Both sides had no clue that they were about to clash with each other and this caused it to also be one of the bloodiest battles during the civil war.
