***THE BATTLES OF CHICKAMAUGA AND CHATTANOOGA, ONLY TWO MONTHS AND A FEW MILES APART IN THE FUALL OF 1863, WERE NOT ONLY BRUTAL AND DRAMATIC BUT ALSO PIVOTAL TO THE OUTCOME OF THE CIVIL WAR.  IT THE SOUTH HAD WON BOTH BATTLES DECISIVELY, THE WAR MIGHT HAVE DRAGGED ON, LINCOLN MIGHT HAVE BEEN FORCED OUT OF THE PRESIDENCY IN 1864, AND UNION MIGHT HAVE HAD TO SETTLE FOR A NEGOTIATED PEACE.                                                                                                      *******WHAT DID HAPPEN IS THAT IN LATE SEPTEMBER DURING THESE BATTLES?**********
