Moreover, from Chattanooga railways led either north and east to Lynchburg and Richmond in Virginia, or southeasterly to Atlanta. By following either of these routes the Union generals hoped to break up the Confederacy at a single blow. After much delay Rosecrans moved forward and compelled Bragg who was blocking the road...
