A major Civil War battle fought in Georgia in 1863, or the Cherokee people/language from whom the name derives.
From Cherokee, possibly from 'Tsikamahagi' or related words, the term may reference a place in Georgia's Chickamauga Valley. The battle site became one of the bloodiest engagements in the western theater of the American Civil War.
The Battle of Chickamauga in September 1863 was one of the few Confederate victories in the western theater—yet the defeated Union army didn't retreat far, and this battle actually led directly to Sherman's later campaigns that devastated the South, showing how military victories don't always determine war outcomes.
