The Battle of Chickamauga, fought September 18-20, 1863, marked the end of a Union offensive in south-central Tennessee and northwestern Georgia called the Chickamauga Campaign. The battle was the most significant Union defeat in the Western Theater of the American Civil War.

The battle was fought between the Union Army of the Cumberland under Major General William Rosecrans and the Confederate Army of Tennessee under General Braxton Bragg, and was so-named for the Chickamauga Creek, which flows into the Tennessee River about 12 miles southwest of Chattanooga. Chickamauga was a local Indian word meaning "Stagnant River" or, less accurately, "River of Death".
