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.
