One of the cause of this battle was because Columbus was the second largest industry in the confederacy If the union took Columbus out then the confederate soldiers would not be able to send there troop supply and food. The union wanted to destroy the confederate army in any possible way they could think of. This could have been avoided if General lee message got to General Wilson they surrendered.Without Mr. Pemberton getting hurt during this battle we would not have coke cola today as a soft drink.
