The Battle of Lookout Mountain took place on November 24, 1863, during the American Civil War. It was part of the larger Chattanooga Campaign and involved Union forces led by General Ulysses S. Grant against the Confederate army commanded by General Braxton Bragg. The battle was notable for its dramatic terrain, as Union troops climbed steep slopes to engage the enemy. The Union victory at Lookout Mountain helped secure control of the strategic city of Chattanooga, Tennessee. This win also boosted Union morale and set the stage for further military successes in the South, including the eventual capture of Atlanta.
