The Battle of Campbell's Station Civil War Reenactment2011.wmv

The battle of campbell's station on november 16,1863 Confederate General james longstreet had his best opportunity to attack Federal forces while they were away from their defenses in knoxville at "fort sanders".Since Novemeber 15th union General Ambrose Burnside had been fighting a delaying action as he retreated from lenoir city along the loudon road.Longstreet split his forces that were pursuing Burnside and sent half of them along Kingston road in a attempt to get ahead of the federals troops .His plan was to trap them at the intersection of the two roads.It was a race to Campbell's Station.Longstreet neglected to send a small cavalry force connected with his infantry marching down kingston road.Federal troops arrived at the intersection first.Union wagons and artillery streamed through the intersection..Federal forces formed a defensive postion near present day farragut and prepared for the attack from longstreet's seasoned veterans.SEE ALSO:THE BATTLE ATTACK OF FORT SANDERS 2011. 31u
