Answer
At Knoxville, Longstreet experienced a Confederate defeat. Union forces, led by Ambrose Burnside, successfully defended the city against Longstreet's siege in November 1863. Despite capturing Fort Sanders, a key Union stronghold, Longstreet's inability to break through the Union lines and his dwindling supplies forced him to retreat, marking a significant Union victory in the western theater of the American Civil War.
