The Second Battle of Franklin, fought on November 30, 1864, was one of the bloodiest and most important battles of the Civil War. It was here that John Bell Hood's veteran Army of Tennessee would batter itself against John Schofield's entrenched Union forces just outside the town of Franklin, Tennessee. Almost 7,000 Confederate casualties, suffered in less than 5 hours, would leave Hood's army a shattered wreck of its former self. Learn more about the campaign leading up to Franklin and the actions of that fateful late November day. View the Franklin Animated Map »
