CHAPTER XII The war went on, successfully for the most part, but people had stopped saying "One more victory and the war is over," just as they had stopped saying the Yankees were cowards.  It was obvious to all now that the Yankees were far from cowardly and that it would take more than one victory to conquer them.  However, there were the Confederate victories in Tennessee scored by General Morgan and General Forrest and the triumph at the Second Battle of Bull Run hung up like visible Yankee scalps to gloat over.( Mitchell 214)

The mention of General Morgan of Confederate Army is a little confusing. Because during the civil War, the Confederate Army had two General Morgan: General. John Tyler Morgan and General. John Hunt Morgan. Because the Second Battle of Bull Run, August 28–30, 1862, is mentioned together in the line, it can be indicated that the triumphs under General Morgan should be around the same time. John Tyler Morgan was not promoted as a Major General until 1863.The major battle with victory in Tennessee near that time period that he joined in was the Battle of Chickamauga, fought September 19–20, 1863, it was an entire year after the Second Battle of Bull Run. General. John Hunt Morgan Morgan was promoted to brigadier general on December 11, 1862. He achieved some raids on the supply lines of Union Major General William S. Rosecrans in December and January, most notably his victory at the Battle of Hartsville on December 7. (Eicher, 397)The Battle of Hartsville took place on December 7, 1862, in northern Tennessee at the opening of the Stones River Campaign. That Day 1300(Kennedy 150)¬¬ men led by General John Hunt Morgan attacked 39th Brigade, XIV Corps, Army of the Cumberland of Union Army, which consisted of 2400(Kennedy 150)¬¬  men, commanded by Col. Absalom B. Moore. The battle ended as 2096(Kennedy 150)¬¬  casualties on the Union side, while only 139(Kennedy 150)¬¬  on confederate side. Col. Absalom B. Moore finally was convinced to surrender and became a prisoner of war. So most likely, General Morgan that Mitchell refers to is brigadier general John Hunt Morgan. And in the book, The Battle of Hartsville could be one of these victories that cheered the folks in Atlanta.
