| 1864 Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest Battle scores a decisive victory over General S.D. Sturgis' Union forces when they meet at Brices Cross Roads. Although the battle was considered a major tactical victory and the Union lost five men to every Southern casualty, it did not diminish the effectiveness of Sherman's Atlanta campaign. Today, the Brices Cross Roads National Historic Site, a one-acre site in Baldwyn, MS commemorates the battle. 1933
