	Tennessee railroads on the eve of war (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Confederate strategists realized the railroads' potential early on, and they employed rail transport extensively in support of a number of major military events (see Railroad-Associated Military Events of the Civil War), most notably at the battles of Shiloh and Chattanooga.
		Certainly the physical shortcomings of Southern railroads (including Tennessee's) were factors: railroad historians have pointed to the inadequate rail line mileage, the crippling gaps in what should have been a continuous system, and the South's grossly inadequate manufacturing capacity.
		But beyond these physical constraints, the South's philosophical obsession with individual and state rights and the concurrent fear of centralized power seems to have prevented the cooperative action that is necessary to wage modern warfare successfully.
