From the 1862 capture of Forts Henry and Donelson to the 1864 March to the Sea, many pivotal campaigns and battles during the American Civil War took place in the Western Theater.
This area of operations consisted of all the geographic territory west of the Appalachian Mountains to the Mississippi River. The class will explore military action at Shiloh, Perryville, Stones River, Vicksburg, Chickamauga, Chattanooga, Atlanta, and about the commanding officers involved in an area, which most historians agree decided the outcome of the war.
