XXI Corps was a corps of the UnionArmy during the American Civil War . It served as part of William S. Rosecrans s Army of the Cumberland and was in existence from January 9th to October 1863. After the Battle of Stone s River , General Rosecrans reorganized the wings of his army into three corps. The left wing, under Thomas L. Crittenden , became the XXI Corps. Taking part in the Tullahoma Campaign , the XXI Corps was heavily engaged at Battle of Chickamauga Chickamauga on September 19 20, 1863, where it was nearly destroyed. It was Rosecrans mistaken decision to pull Thomas J. Wood Thomas Wood s division of this corps to support George Henry Thomas George Thomas s XIV Corps ACW XIV Corps that resulted in General James Longstreet s breakthrough against the Union center.
