Union forces routed Bragg's army on November 25, 1863, ending the siege of Chattanooga and securing Union control of Tennessee.
Grant's plan concentrated on Sherman's attack against Bragg's right flank at Tunnel Hill. Sherman made piecemeal attacks but faced fierce resistance. Thomas moved forward to seize the Confederate line of rifle pits on the valley floor. After a short pause, Union soldiers continued the attack, found the remaining rifle pits untenable, and pursued the fleeing Confederates.
