rdf:langString Sherman should have put in all his force to turn Bragg's right, instead of attacking the strongest place on the right, for Bragg had given to the right every man that he could safely spare.
rdf:langString While Cleburne skillfully made the terrain work for him at Tunnel Hill, Confederate dispositions along the central and southern portions of Missionary Ridge allowed the terrain to work for the attackers. ... In the final analysis, the strength of the seemingly impregnable Missionary Ridge position turned out to be mostly a bluff.
rdf:langString Grant's order to halt at the rifle pits at the base of the ridge was misunderstood by far too many of the generals charged with executing it. Some doubted the order because they thought it absurd to stop an attack at the instant when the attackers would be most vulnerable to fire from the crest and to a counterattack. Others apparently received garbled versions of the order.

rdf:langString The Battle of Missionary Ridge was fought on November 25, 1863, as part of the Chattanooga Campaign of the American Civil War. Following the Union victory in the Battle of Lookout Mountain on November 24, Union forces in the Military Division of the Mississippi under Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant assaulted Missionary Ridge and defeated the Confederate Army of Tennessee, commanded by Gen. Braxton Bragg, forcing it to retreat to Georgia. In the morning, Maj. Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman, commanding the Union Army of the Tennessee, made piecemeal attacks to capture the northern end of Missionary Ridge, Tunnel Hill, but were stopped by fierce resistance from the Confederate divisions of Maj. Gen. Patrick Cleburne, William H.T. Walker, and Carter L. Stevenson. In the afternoon, Grant was concerned that Bragg was reinforcing his right flank at Sherman's expense. He ordered the Army of the Cumberland, commanded by Maj. Gen. George Henry Thomas, to move forward and seize the Confederate line of rifle pits on the valley floor and stop there, as a demonstration to assist Sherman's efforts. The Union soldiers moved forward and quickly pushed the Confederates from the first line of rifle pits, but were then subjected to a punishing fire from the Confederate lines up the ridge. After a short pause to regain their breath, the Union soldiers continued the attack against the remaining lines further up the ridge, finding that the rifle-pits were untenable and in pursuit of the fleeing Confederates. This second advance was taken up by the commanders on the spot and also by some of the soldiers. Seeing what was happening, Thomas and his subordinates sent orders confirming orders for the ascent. The Union advance was somewhat disorganized but effective, finally overwhelming and scattering what ought to have been, as General Grant himself believed, an impregnable Confederate line. The top line of Confederate rifle pits was sited on the actual crest rather than the military crest of the ridge, leaving blind spots for infantry and artillery. In combination with an advance from the southern end of the ridge by divisions under Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker, the Union Army routed Bragg's army, which retreated to Dalton, Georgia, ending the siege of Union forces in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

rdf:langString De slag bij Missionary Ridge vond plaats op 25 november 1863 bij Chattanooga (Tennessee) tijdens de Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog. Na de Noordelijke overwinning bij Lookout Mountain op 24 november, vielen Noordelijke troepen onder leiding van generaal-majoor Ulysses S. Grant Missionary Ridge aan. Deze aanval luidde de nederlaag in van het Zuidelijke onder leiding van generaal Braxton Bragg. In de vroege ochtend probeerden eenheden van het , onder leiding van generaal-majoor William T. Sherman, het noordelijke uiteinde van Missionary Ridge, Tunnel Hill, in te nemen. Door hevige tegenstand van de Zuidelijke eenheden onder leiding van generaal-majoor werd deze aanval tegengehouden. In de loop van de namiddag kreeg Grant informatie die erop wees dat Bragg zijn rechterflank zou versterken ten koste van Sherman. Grant gaf het bevel aan het Army of the Cumberland, onder leiding van generaal-majoor , om de voorste vijandelijke schuttersputten aan de voet van de heuvelrug in te nemen. Daar dienden ze te wachten op bijkomende orders. De Noordelijke soldaten voerden hun opdracht uit waarbij de voorste Zuidelijke linie schoon geveegd werd. De Noordelijken kwamen al snel onder het moordend Zuidelijk vuur van de verdedigers op de heuvelrug zelf. Zonder op verdere orders te wachten, zetten de Noordelijke soldaten hun aanval verder om betere dekking te bereiken tegen het Zuidelijke spervuur. De Noordelijke opmars was chaotisch maar uiteindelijk beslissend. De Zuidelijke verdedigingslinie werd doorbroken. Samen met de opmars van de divisies van generaal-majoor Joseph Hooker vanuit andere flank deed het Zuidelijk leger op de vlucht slaan. Ze trokken zich terug naar Dalton, Georgia. De belegering van Chattanooga werd beëindigd.

Dopo la vittoria conseguita dalle truppe dell'Unione nella battaglia di Lookout Mountain avvenuta il giorno precedente, le forze congiunte della "Divisione militare del Mississippi" poste sotto il comando del Maggior generale Ulysses S. Grant assalirono in formazioni compatte l'altura del " sconfiggendo l'Armata confederata del Tennessee guidata dal generale Braxton Bragg e costringendolo a ritirarsi velocemente entro i confini della Georgia. Già al primo mattino un folto gruppo dell'Armata del Tennessee diretto dal generale William Tecumseh Sherman tentò di catturare l'estremità settentrionale del crinale di "Missionary" denominato "Tunnel Hill", ma furono fermati dalla fiera resistenza oppostagli dalle divisioni di , e . Nel pomeriggio Grant si preoccuperà del fatto che Bragg potesse riuscire a rafforzare il proprio fianco destro a spese di Sherman. Ordinò allora all'Armata del Cumberland di George H. Thomas di procedere in avanti e prendere possesso della 1ª linea avversaria di trincee dispiegata sul fondovalle, quindi di fermarsi lì per attendere ulteriori ordini. I soldati avanzarono e rapidamente respinsero i confederati al di fuori delle loro posizioni di partenza, ma saranno subito dopo fatti oggetto di un fuoco incrociato d'artiglieria allineato sulla cresta superiore del monte. Giunti a questo punto, nel tentativo di sottrarsi agli spari che gli venivano rivolti contro, invece di arrestarsi continuarono l'attacco a passo di carica verso le altre 2 linee rimanenti, cercando rifugio vicino alla cresta superiore del Ridge; la linea superiore degli artiglieri e dei tiratori scelti sudisti era situata sul crinale geografico in prossimità della vetta piuttosto che su quello militarmente molto più vantaggioso appena al di sotto, lasciando in tal modo diversi punti ciechi di fronte a loro. Questa seconda avanzata fu presa in considerazione e immediatamente realizzata autonomamente dai comandanti sul campo, ma anche da alcuni soldati i quali, rimasti isolati, cercarono un riparo dai colpi muovendosi sempre più in alto sul pendio. La mossa anticipatrice dell'Unione risulterà essere assai disorganizzata, ma ebbe un risultato dimostratosi efficace. Alla fine quella che avrebbe dovuto essere - come credeva fin dal principio lo stesso Grant - una linea confederata praticamente inattaccabile, verrà letteralmente travolta ed espugnata, accrescendo il senso di panico e dispersione generati dalla fuga. In combinazione con un'avanzata messa in atto a partire dall'estremità meridionale della cresta da parte delle divisioni di Joseph Hooker l'Unione sconfisse in una maniera determinante l'esercito di Bragg, che si troverà così costretto a retrocedere in una ritirata che si concluderà solo a Dalton (Georgia), ponendo al contempo fine all'assedio della città di Chattanooga e allo sgombero completo e definitivo del Tennessee della Confederate States Army.
