A battle raged above the clouds in Chattanooga 158 years ago today...

On November 24, 1863, 10,000 men under the command of Major General Joseph "Fighting Joe" Hooker stormed the summit of Lookout Mountain during the Battle of Chattanooga. The position, manned by 8,300 Confederates under the command of Carter Stevenson, was considered by most in the Confederate high command to be impregnable. However, Hooker's divisions were able to successfully capture Lookout Mountain with minimal losses - effectively ending the Confederate siege of the city and laying the groundwork for Major General Ulysses S. Grant's main offensive against Missionary Ridge the following day.

That's bait

Those Yanks were just virtue signaling the entire war. They still treated blacks like dirt, just like modern yankee libs.

Having been there, it’s amazing to me that infantry could have taken that position. The topography is incredibly challenging to foot traffic. Same for much of Vicksburg as well

The war of northern aggression.
Sticks That Made Thunder
My roots are deeper than the bones of the others
My colors they change with the sun
My branches, we're higher
Than anything on the hillside
On the day that I watched them all die
Some were the color of the sky in the winter
Some, we're as blue as the night
They came like a storm with the light of the morn
And they fell through the whole day and night
Colors flew high and they danced in the sky
As I watched them come over the hill
Then to my wonder, sticks that made thunder
Such a great number lay still
When the light came again
There was death on the wind
As the buzzards made way for the worms
And the little white trees that don't bend in the breeze
For the ones that will never return
Colors flew high and they danced in the sky
As I watched them come over the hill
Then to my wonder, sticks that made thunder
Such a great number lay still
Those that have fallen, come when I call them
And answer the best that they can
But all they can see is what they used to be
And that's all that they understand
Colors flew high and they danced in the sky
As I watched them come over the hill
Then to my wonder, sticks that made thunder
Such a great number lay still
Colors flew high and they danced in the sky
As I watched them come over the hill
Then to my wonder, sticks that made thunder
Such a great number lay still

Slavery ended in the Confederacy before it did in the Union.
Funny that.

Probably because many of us had ancestors that fought for the CSA and we’d prefer not to think of them as the bad guys.
Posted on 11/24/21 at 4:31 pm to RollTide1987
Yeah, but it wasn't fair, though. The Confederates thought the Yanks were just passing through on their way to See Rock City!
Posted on 11/24/21 at 4:41 pm to RollTide1987
Confederate scum got their asses handed to them when they thought they had it in the bag, gotta love it
