Missionary Ridge had served as a Confederate stronghold from September to October 1863, when General Braxton Bragg's army laid seige to the Union army positioned at Chattanooga. On November 25th, Union soldiers captured Missionary Ridge and held it as a logistics base for General William T. Sherman's 1864 campaigns through Atlanta.
