- Often referred to as “Picketts Charge of the West” The battle of Franklin was one of the worst disasters of the war for the Confederate States Army. Confederate Lieutenant General John Bell Hood's Army of Tennessee conducted numerous frontal assaults against fortified positions occupied by the Union forces under Major General John Schofield. The Confederate assault of six infantry divisions containing eighteen brigades with 100 regiments numbering almost 20,000 men, resulted in devastating losses to the men and the leadership of the Army of Tennessee. Fourteen Confederate generals (six killed, seven wounded, and one captured) and 55 regimental commanders were casualties. Lets explore this battle through the very words of the men who fought at Franklin.

This is my home. I’m glad to see this battle getting more and more light shined on it throughout the last 5-10 years. Truly hallowed ground.
It’s an extremely powerful place. I loved every minute I was there.
Interesting. What truth are they not telling?
My home to . My great great grandfather fought in the battle
My great great grandfather and my great great great uncle both of the 32nd Tennessee Infantry Browns brigade Stewart's Division CSA fought at Franklin
Thank you for doing the battle of Franklin. It played such an important role in defeating the South and yet so little is known about it. Totally enjoyed this video. Keep them coming. You do amazing work bringing the lesser known battles out there for people to learn about.👍😁
Thanks for watching Cyndie! I appreciate the kind words and your support. Happy to hear you enjoyed it.
The Carnton Plantation and the cemetery they created for the honored Southern dead is amazing. A very strong family in the war of northern aggression.
very well done, the personal stories add so much to the story telling on how the fighting was there
Those stories help piece these battles together for a better understanding. Thanks for watching Paul!

Thanks for watching Mark and as always, I’m beyond grateful to have your support.
Outstanding video !
I appreciate that. Thanks for watching.
This was a short battle lasting only a few hours, yet the casualties were extremely high. I wonder if, from a time (hour) to casualty ratio, if Franklin was the worst/bloodiest battle of the Civil War? Antietam was the bloodiest single day battle, true, but it lasted all day...
Yes, I believe it was 5hrs total. It’s definitely possible it was the bloodiest hours of the war. A lot of the veterans that survived said the death at Franklin was on a different level.
Great video love the new fomat
Appreciate the feedback! Thanks for watching
Very interesting video, thank you
Thanks for watching!
Such a slaughter in so short a time,outstrips Gettysburg,such is war,we never learn.
Indeed. War is a terrible thing.
The 44th Missouri came from the smallest pounionist area of Missouri. North of the proconfederate Little Dixie was the low % slave populated Iowa border stripe area, the 44th Missouri infantry regiments came from this area. This shows the Civil War's root case well. The Little Dixie the highest % slave populated area in Missouri was proconfederate majority area and the other low % slave populated areas were prounionist majority areas as the Iowa border stripe area, St Lous area and the Ozark region area.
How was your trip to Chickamauga?
Fantastic! Got 9 episodes filmed!
@@ProjectPast1565 WOW!! 9 episodes, I can't wait.
The map you used is incorrect. It lists 184th Ohio Inf which should be the 183rd.
I see both regiments listed on the map west of the Columbia pike.
