Corinth Area Tourism

Category:	Coastal Tourism
Title:	Corinth Area Tourism
Listing URL:	http://www.corinth.net
Description:	how the fate of a nation was shaped by the dramatic events that unfolded in Corinth during 1862. Corinth, at the junction of the Memphis & Charleston and the Mobile & Ohio railroads, was recognized for its strategic importance by Confederate and Union Commanders. Due to its significance, as many as 300,000 soldiers from the North and the South occupied Corinth from 1861-1865. On April 6-7, 1862, the Confederate army made a preemptive strike north of Corinth to protect the city against Union troops being amassed along the Tennessee River. The result of the Confederate strike was the Battle of Shiloh where 44,000 Confederate troops and 65,000 Union troops met on an isolated field of battle. After their defeat at Shiloh, the Confederates withdrew to Corinth and evacuated the city on May 29, 1862. Later, on October 3-5, 1862, the Confederate forces attempted to retake the city of Corinth. The Battle of Corinth was the bloodiest in Mississippi and opened the way for Grant’s campaign against Vicksburg.
