	Encyclopedia: Siege of Knoxville
		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.
		The assault, conducted on November 29, 1863 was both a tactical and a strategic failure; Longstreet failed to capture Knoxville or even any of its significant fortifications and the distraction of the Union from the Atlanta campaign was minimal.
