Fight (fight of the Brice intersection, British :Battle of Brice's Crossroads) of the Brice intersection is a battle performed in the Baldwin neighborhood of the Mississippi Lee county on June 10, 1864 during the Civil War. The contingent of 4,787 people whom Major General Confederate Army Nathan Bedford Forest led faced the army of 8,100 people whom the Federal army Samuel D Stargis brigadier general led. This fight ended in 壊走 of the Federal army and made fame as the Commander great cavalry soldier of Forest a firm one.
A military unit inferior to in power keeps the tactics and the topography alive, and this battle appears in a textbook as the active example which got victory by attacking it. In spite of this victory, in the Confederate Army, there was hardly a thing to get except that I sent the Federal army out of Alabama and Mississippi temporarily.

Background
The Major General William shaman of the Federal army always understood that a supply line and the communication line which originally were fragile which passed through Tennessee were exposed to serious danger for the destruction action by the cavalry soldier surprise attack of Forest. Let northern Mississippi and Alabama in the military unit of approximately 8,500 people and gave General Stargis an order to start it to stop activity of Forest to destroy Forest and the military unit. After having had some doubt and uneasiness, Stargis left Tennessee Memphis on June 1. The Major General Steven D Lee of the Confederate Army knew the movement of the Stargis forces and warned a forest. Lee made a plan to meet with a military unit of Forest again in Mississippi オコロナ, but told to act as expected if suitable for a forest. Without the forest being already moving to Tennessee, and having turned the cavalry division (number less than one division) to the Stargis forces, but having understood an intention of the Federal army.
When the Federal army aimed for テューペロ located in approximately 15 miles (24km), the Lee county to the south from the Brice intersection soon, I supposed the forest definitely. The ally considerably lost in power, but I decided to repulse the Stargis forces than I waited for Lee and chose a place to meet in the way of the Stargis forces. Forest chose the Brice intersection in the Lee county now. There had four mud ways and deep forest, and the ティショミンゴ creek where there was only one bridge which appeared to the west from the east became the border of nature. The forest grasped that a cavalry division of the Federal army preceded an infantry arm for three hours, and at first I attacked a cavalry division, and the infantry arm of the enemy put up a strategy to let you come to the relief hastily. Because I was exhausted because the infantry arm hurried and might not rescue it effectively, the Confederate Army thought that you should push the whole Federal army toward the west creek there. The forest let you dispatched most of the military units in two towns nearby and wait.
Battle
One of Federal army Benjamin Grierson cavalry soldier divisions brigade arrived at the Brice intersection at 9:45 a.m. on June 10, and a battle began at half past 10 a.m. and I enlarged it in Confederate Army one brigade and performed a strategy. Forest commanded it that the remainder of the cavalry division attracted it around an intersection successively. The remainder of the Federal army cavalry division arrived and supported it, but I began to push the room by the strong attack of the Confederate Army at few half past 11 a.m., and the remainder of the Forest cavalry division arrived at the battlefield there. Grierson required the support of the foot soldier, and Stargis accepted it. The front came to a stand still until half past 1 p.m. when the first regiment of the Federal army foot soldier arrived.
The front of the Federal army was supported in foot soldiers at first and I caught a mood at one time and attacked the Confederate Army left side surface, but Forest let you hang an attack with the most promising candidate from the left wing before the remainder of the Federal army infantry arm arrived at the battlefield. Forest pushed the artillery forward at this point of battle, and the defense let Federal army front give off a grape bullet at distance of just several yards from the Federal army position with there not being it, too. The Stargis forces received a big loss and let you turned to the east around an intersection and rebuild a semicircular dense front.
At half past 3 p.m., the second Tennessee cavalry division of the Confederate Army took a raid at a bridge built over the ティショミンゴ river. This attack failed, but I caused serious confusion in the Federal army, and Stargis gave it an order for entire army retreat. The Tennessee military unit still applied pressure, and, as for the retreat of the Federal army, a bridge became the bottleneck, and 捉 changed in a panic in broken 壊走. As for the subsequent disturbed escape and pursuit, in 6 counties to Memphis and the Confederate Army exhausted afterwards stopped pursuit and got out.
Post of the battle
The loss of the Federal army rose to 2,164 people (including 1,500 captives) whereas the loss of the Confederate Army was 492 people. Forest obtained vast weapon, cannon and ammunition,, besides, many supplies. Stargis was demoted, and I was demoted distantly by Nishibe. When the forests slaughtered the black soldiers again, after this battle, the Federal army accused it. However, I think about this accusation with injustice because historians would weaken the claim of the death rate of unequal black soldiers whom the Federal army insists on by the result of the later prisoner exchange.
Today's battlefield trace
This battle is memorialized on Brice intersection Kunitachi battlefield historic spot established in 1929. The United States of America National Park Service appoints a monument and an explanation board as neighboring 1 acre (4,000m2) of the intersection and maintains it.

The Brice intersection is thought about with one of the place saved most beautifully in a battlefield of the Civil War.
In 1994, a local citizen with the interest forms Brice intersection Kunitachi battlefield committee and I open a battlefield trace and will save it. There was help from Civil War preservation trust (association of former Civil War battlefield trace preservation and Civil War trust), and there was the help of federal government, state government and the local local government government again, too and old battlefield trace 800 acres (3.2 km2) purchased the above and saved the Brice intersection Kunitachi battlefield committee. I purchased most of the land now from the Agnews of トゥーペロ which owned the land of the battlefield trace.
Association of modern Bethany Presbyterian Church stands on the southeastern side of the intersection. When there was a battle; the meeting place of this association along the Baldwin road was to the south more. However, there was the Bethany graveyard adjacent to a monument of the National Park Service from the Civil War past. Most of initial pioneers in this area are buried here. There is the grave where is higher than 90 Reb killed in action in this battle in this graveyard. The federal killed in action in this battle was buried in the common burial ground of the battlefield, but I was performed transferring a body from a temporary shrine to a tomb later by the national graveyard of Memphis.
