The Civil War completely changed the social, political, economic, and physical landscape of Chattanooga. After the Battles for Chattanooga, the City was faced with casting a new vision for its future. We will take a deeper look at our modern landscape on the Tennessee Riverfront and consider its roots in Reconstruction that have echoed throughout Chattanooga's history.
