Explanation and Analysis:

“Chickamauga” is set during the Battle of Chickamauga, a Civil War battle that took place in northwestern Georgia in September of 1863. The American Civil War was fought between the Union (northern states), which wanted to abolish slavery, and the Confederacy (southern states), which wanted to continue the practice and therefore sought to secede from the Union.
