ABOUT CORINTH MISSISSIPPI
Facts
Corinth, Mississippi
1861-1865
Significant Facts—
The Corinth Siege was in the early stage of the Civil War and the
remaining earth works and rare surviving examples of early Civil War
field fortifications were part of a developing technology that was later
applied extensively at Vicksburg (1863), Northern Virginia and
Petersburg (1864), and Atlanta (1864). They were studied by foreign
armies prior to World War I and this technology evolved into the trench
warfare system of World War I.
In terms of aggregate numbers of troops involved, the Siege of Corinth
was the greatest in the history of the Western Hemisphere.
Shiloh was the largest battle of the Corinth Campaign, as the Battle of
Shiloh was fought over the railroads in Corinth.
The Battle of Corinth was one of the fiercest and bloodiest of the war.
Analysts consider it the beginning of the end of the War in the West.
Two of the most important trunk railroads in the Confederacy passed
through Corinth, Mississippi. The first of these—the Memphis and
Charleston—was the only railroad in the South providing service from the
Mississippi River at Memphis, by way of Chattanooga, to Richmond and
Atlanta and beyond. The other was the north-south Mobile and Ohio,
connecting Mobile with Columbus, Kentucky. The railroad crossover gave
to Corinth a strategic significance that made it the most significant
transportation hub in the western Confederacy during March-May, 1862.
