Politics, waterways, railways, and war combine to make Tennessee one of the most contested states during the American Civil War. From one of the bloodiest battles in American history at Shiloh to the first Confederate state capital to fall to Federal forces, Tennessee played host to Union and Confederate armies throughout the Civil War.
Join American Battlefield Trust Chief Historian Garry Adelman, author and historian Dave Powell, and Executive Director of the Battle of Franklin Trust Eric Jacobson, as they discuss the role Tennessee played in the Civil War while focusing on two major actions at Chattanooga and Franklin.
The American Battlefield Trust preserves America’s hallowed battlegrounds and educates the public about what happened there and why it matters. We permanently protect these battlefields for future generations as a lasting and tangible memorial to the brave soldiers who fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War.
