Answer 1

A — Union and Confederate troops engage in the Battle of Chickamauga.

Explanation: Bragg's reinforced army turned north from northern Georgia and attacked Rosecrans's forces, resulting in the Battle of Chickamauga (September 1863). Antietam (1862), Peachtree Creek and Kennesaw Mountain (parts of the 1864 Atlanta Campaign) do not fit this sequence.
