Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I whakamahere a Grant kia whakaekehia e te Ope Taua o Tennessee a Sherman, i awhinahia e te Ope Taua o Cumberland, te pito raki o Missionary Ridge, hei whakarite ki te huri i te taha matau o te hoariri. I te Whiringa-a-rangi 23, ka ohorere a Major General George Henry Thomas i te hoariri i te marama o te ra, ka anga whakamua ki nga raina o te Uniana ka tango i te Orchard Knob, i waenga o Chattanooga me te pukepuke. I te aonga ake, kaore a Sherman i tutuki i tana miihana ki te eke ki runga o Missionary Ridge, koinei te mea nui ki te mahere pakanga a Grant. I tangohia e ngā ope a Hooker
Ko te Maunga Matakitaki e whakamahi ana i tētahi mahi pūkenga ki te whakaeke i te hoariri, i te angitu ohorere. I te 25 o nga ra, i whakahau a Grant ki a Major General George Henry Thomas kia anga whakamua ki nga poka pere i te keehi o Missionary i te kaha ki te awhina i a Sherman, i muri i te kore o te ope a Sherman ki te tango i a Missionary Ridge mai i te raki-rawhiti. E wha nga wehenga o te Army of the Cumberland, me te pokapū e rua i arahina e Major General Philip Sheridan me te Brigadier General Thomas J. Wood, i whai i nga Confederates ki waho o nga pu i te turanga, a, i te whakahe ki nga whakahau, ka haere tonu ki te utu i te kokonga 45-tohu ka hopu i nga turanga Confederate i te taha o te tihi, ka akiaki i te reti tere. I whakawhiwhia e te pakanga whakatau ki te mana o te Uniana o Tennessee me te whakatuwhera i a Georgia, te ngakau o te Confederate, ki te whakaekenga a te Uniana. I whakawhiwhia a Grant ki tetahi hoiho tino nui, "Cincinnati", na tetahi kaiwhaiwhai mauruuru i St. Louis.
