Battle of Tupelo
The Battle of Tupelo (July 14–15, 1864) was fought near Tupelo, Mississippi during the American Civil War. It was a United States victory over Confederate forces in northeast Mississippi ensuring the safety of Major-General William Sherman's supply lines during the Atlanta Campaign.
==Background==
The spring and summer of 1864 found the attention of the people of the United States and Confederate States focused on fighting in Virginia and Georgia. Interwoven with, and having important repercussions on, the fighting in northwestern Georgia were military operations in northeast Mississippi designed to prevent Confederate forces under Lieutenant-General Stephen Lee and Major-General Nathan Forrest from striking into middle Tennessee and destroying the single-track railroad over which Sherman's army drew its supplies. The battles of Brice's Crossroads and Tupelo were fought to protect that railroad.〔
