Civil War Combat: Decisive Union Victory at the Battle at Franklin (S1, E4) | Full Episode

Consider that the north are Democrats the south are Republicans now we are paying the price for the loss.

The union did not retreat into Nashville. Nashville was the original destination. The union won this decisively and continued to reinforce Nashville.

Hard to enjoy. Too many commercials every 2 min

The devil always leads on the losing side.

Love this episode and the series overall. Is there any way of finding the piece of music from the scene where Carter falls wounded? I've always loved that part of the soundtrack.

Bro sounds like Joshua Graham from fallout new vegas

This battle was definitely 💯 horror

Visit this battlefield if you can. Its really impressive. The trenches are still there at the top of the hill.

Decisive Union victory was at Battle of Nashville. Franklin was considered a costly victory the Confederate. "Two victory like this would wipe out an entire army." -Some general said something close to that.

Hood lost his arm, leg, wife, son, investment, carried out cunning strategy but lost the battle regardless - this was a man punished by some vengeful deity.

Absurd idiocy of Hood

History & MTV both suffered the same fate… reality drama shows for the weakest minds.

That insane racist in Richmond sent teenagers and old men to their death, that was a travesty, not some heroic charge.

And the idea of "fragging" unfair officers was born..

You've come a long way. Keep up the good work!

When the History Channel was worth watching, I miss the old team. Karen Stone, Roger Mudd, Edward Hermann, Sander Vanocour, 96-99, so miss those years.

Hood as a Commander was the embodiment of the Peter Principle.

This is amazing- how is it that I've never even heard of this battle?

Strange - this was a history channel production, and neither bigfoot nor aliens made an appearance.

Hood , a bad general and drunk ?

Amazing video

Crazy how I pass by these places everyday. So many people fought and died here.

Franklin was a tough battle. Should never have happened. Really needed to have a better general hood. He was all fight and no think..

God Bless those Boys in Blue
🇺🇲 USA

I live in Franklin, Tennessee. Downs Blvd...5 minutes from the battlefield & I can tell you, the time is NOW!!! It's unfortunate that Johnston was killed in 62'. He was a better general than Lee. Lucian Charles Hamilton. Franklin, Tennessee.

So much propaganda!!! As a Southerner, I believe the truth of liberty will prevail!!!

LOL..confederate LOSERS!!😂








CRY ABOUT IT!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Mystery of Spring Hill. It was the laudanum

RIP Tony Jay

Sherman did not burn Atlanta the confederates did

True dat.

I have unsubscribed

General Hood was stoned opiates.

When as a young man I was honored to Reenact the Battle of Franklin and Nashville with the North/South Alliance on the the same grounds. It is a great memory for me. Most of us that were there that week have "aged out" of reenacting some are gone. All remembered. We honored those who Really Fought. Patriots All.

Just another comment. Hood marched on Frankilin and Nashville hoping Sherman would persue and leave or slow his march of Destruction through the South. I read that when Sherman got wind of Hood moving on Tennesee, " if Hood moves on Nashville I will send him rations"

Did anyone know that Nathan Bedford Forrest was one ofForrest gump,s famliy members.

Hood apparently was too ill to be in command of a corps, let alone an army.
Taking opium (that is what is in laudnum) makes one sleepy and lethargic.
the whole thing was a disaster before it had even begun. And thousands of dead and
badly wounded paid the price of inexcusable blunders!

Changing the name of the former Ft Hood is no crime. Hood was a horrible army commander. Should never have had a post named after him. (Same with Bragg.)

Hood basically sentenced his men to death out of spite.

Its like Hood didnt learn a thing from Pickett's Charge year and a half prior.

How sad that people fight each other like this

Is it possible that General Hood was not in his right mind due to laudanum?

The South would have lasted much longer if they've given command to Patrick Cleburne

Let us treasure the freedoms that were bought at so great a cost. May they all rest in peace.

This was similar to the battle of cold harbor. Such a waste

What happened to History channel now it’s all Aliens and n@zis like what happened to this style of history actual untold history that actually happened

This seems like such a bias narrative. I'm surprised it made it to the history channel.

Trolling the confederates as you sneak past their camp is crazy work 😂

Hood had to wipe his but then shake your hand with the same hand. No wonder he wore gloves.

He asked for her hand in marriage, because he needed a second hand to wipe his butt.
