answer1)The survival of Union Army of the Cumberland was at stake. On the second day of battle September 20, 1863, a gap was left in the Union Lines. Confederate General James Longstreet’s attack exploited this error by Union forces and a large part of the Army of the Cumberland was driven from the field. The Union forces were saved from total collapse by the stand of George Thomas at Snodgrass Hill. For his conduct at the battle George Thomas was nicknamed “The Rock of Chickamaugua>”
answer2)The battle was fought between the Army of the Cumberland under Maj. Gen. William Rosecrans and the Confederate Army of Tennessee under Gen. Braxton Bragg, and was named for Chickamauga Creek, which meanders near the battle area in northwest Georgia (and ultimately flows into the Tennessee River about 3.5 miles (5.6 km)
