Nashville Campaign

The Nashville Campaign refers to a significant military operation during the American Civil War, specifically in December 1864. Led by Union General George H. Thomas, Union forces aimed to capture the Confederate stronghold of Nashville, Tennessee. The campaign included decisive battles, culminating in a major Union victory that effectively broke the Confederate army's power in the region. This success not only secured Nashville for the Union but also boosted Northern morale, contributing to the overall momentum leading towards the end of the war in 1865.
