The Battle of Chickamauga was fought on September 19–20, 1863. It was led by the union general William Rosecrans, and the confederate's Braxton Bragg. Rosecrans objective was to reconquer Chattanooga by attacking and forcing the Confederates troops out. Every man fought hard and desperately, however on the 20th Rosecran discovered he had a break in his defense lines. Once Bragg discovered this he used it to his advantage. He sent 1/3 of the union army towards that gap and eventually won the battle. This was a very important win for the Confederates because it marked the end of the Chickamauga Campaign.
