	Battle of Fort Sanders - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Fort Sanders (precipitated by the Siege of Knoxville, which began on November 17, 1863) was an engagement of the American Civil War fought in Knoxville, Tennessee.
		As Confederate fortunes declined, a detachment under the command of General James Longstreet, a trusted subordinate of Robert E. Lee, was sent to harass Knoxville with the intent of distracting Union forces from their ultimately-successful Atlanta Campaign.
		His intent was to use cannon to "soften up" Fort Sanders in preparation for a frontal assault; however his artillery was largely ineffective from what was not truly a long range even by the standards of the era, at least part of the problem being attributed to gunpowder of a very low quality.
