Question: In what city did the Civil War’s Battle of Missionary Ridge occur?

Answer: The Battle of Missionary Ridge occurred east of Chattanooga on Nov. 25, 1863.

More than 50,000 Union soldiers stormed Confederate defenses from Rossville Gap at the Georgia border to Tunnel Hill. By day’s end, the Confederate Army of Tennessee was retreating toward Dalton, Georgia, leaving Chattanooga firmly in Union hands. One Confederate officer called it “the death knell of the Confederacy.”
