I work and give tours at the Carter House, Carnton and Rippi Villa for the Battle of Franklin Trust. Great job. Wonderful video. So well done. Thanks. The Battle of Franklin Trust just bought two office building in front of the Carter House. And about to buy another building in front of the Carter House. Adding to the battle ground.

So glad to see this posted as I love this page. I live in nearby and work in Franklin sometimes and drive up and down the streets that were there during the Civil War and often times I think about what it must’ve been like to be there.

I live outside of Cincinnati, whenever I come across a cemetery I like to check out civil war headstones, I've seen a few from the 183 inf. That's awesome you've got info on a relative from that battle.

Great video. You really did put me there. Having visited the Franklin battleground and living about 30 mins from it, I really find the Civil War history of TN compelling and at times, emotional. Thanks again for a great lesson from history.

l first visited Franklin after reading "The Widow of the South", about the battle and the aftermath that resulted in the Confederate Cemetery at Carnton Plantation. We now return to Franklin every year to visit the charming town and countryside. After visiting the battlefield sites and studying the battle I learned that my great grandfather, John Lucius Phelps, marched with Hood's army through Alabama on the way to Franklin but had to drop out because of pneumonia before they crossed the Tennessee River. He had fought from Chattanooga in 1862, when he first joined, then down through Georgia before the fateful march into Tennessee. Had he not caught pneumonia I might not be here today.

My grandfather, a Confederate soldier from Georgia, was captured at Nashville. He died at Camp Douglas, Illinois in late 1864. His name was William Rogers.

Cleburne is an example how desperate both sides were for any with military experience, was he not a corporal in the British military. The entire war was an example of bad tactics, and false pride. A true warrior puts his pride aside and does what is necessary.

Thank you for this. My g-, g-, great grandfather survived Franklin only to be captured at Nashville and imprisoned at Camp Chase, Ohio

After his wounding at Chickamauga, Hood should have been relieved for medical reasons. He was promoted beyond his competency. As a Corps commander, Hood had a lackluster record. At Kolb’s Farm, he advanced his men up hill over rough and wooded ground without proper reconnaissance, skirmishers, or cavalry and artillery support. These failures would be repeated over and over during his tenure as Commander of the Army of Tennessee: first at Peachtree Creek, again at the Battle of Atlanta, at Ezra Church, and again at Jonesboro. Hood’s limited mobility due to his injuries and the concomitant laudanum use rendered him incapable of exercising effective command. President Jefferson Davis never should have promoted Hood, however, Davis misplaced his trust in Bragg, who was a capable administrator yet an incapable battlefield commander and also a man who held grudges that prevented him from recommending a more capable commander, such as Hardee.

"Where this division defended, no odds broke its line; where it attacked, no numbers resisted its onslaught, save only once; and there is the grave of Cleburne." - Confederate Gen. William Hardee, upon learning of Patrick Cleburne's death at Franklin

This battle has been for me the most sad battle of the war...many parished...Patrick and many others generals, the death of an army...End of the cause..

I went to SD Lee HS in Columbus Mississippi. We were, of course, the Generals. I was in the band. Our uniforms were Confederate gray. This was in the 80s. Doubt the name has changed.

Can you share some original sources for Clayburn's suggestions about arming slaves, ending slavery, and the like, that you talk about around minute 27:30? Articles, videos, or the like would be appreciated. Thanks!

A small correction: I believe you mean history is relevant, not “revelant.” And indeed it is relevant, especially when discussing attitudes still present here in Tennessee where the Civil War is sometimes retold using “alternative facts.”

“Every man should endeavor to understand the meaning of subjugation before it is too late… It means the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy; that our youth will be trained by Northern schoolteachers; will learn from Northern school books their version of the war; will be impressed by the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors, and our maimed veterans as fit objects for derision… It is said slavery is all we are fighting for, and if we give it up we give up all. Even if this were true, which we deny, slavery is not all our enemies are fighting for. It is merely the pretense to establish sectional superiority and a more centralized form of government, and to deprive us of our rights and liberties.” Maj. General Patrick R. Cleburne, CSA, January 1864 Deo Vindice
