Battle of Smithfield
The Battle of Smithfield was a relatively small skirmish during the American Civil War – taking place on from January 31 to February 1, 1864, in Smithfield, Virginia.
== Background ==
In 1863 and early 1864, Confederate units harassed Union gunboats on the Nansemond River and operated with relative impunity in the Smithfield area. Union Navy and Army commanders decided to cooperate in a joint operation by sending landing parties into the towns of Chuckatuck in Nansemond County – present day Suffolk, Virginia - and Smithfield in Isle of Wight County to converge and trap an offending rebel unit.
The plan went awry when Union troops marching south from Smithfield encountered Confederate troops near an abandoned cotton mill site southwest of the town. Both sides disengaged and pulled back – Union troops into Smithfield and Confederate soldiers toward Zuni. Then, Confederate forces rallied from their nearby winter quarters on the Blackwater River and rushed to repel the invasion.
