I can’t imagine what it felt like to step forward and March thru that open field- then go hand to hand in the works! God bless them boys of dixie! Deo vindice
I cant imagine what would make person think its ok to own other people.....God @#$%#@ those dixie boys...especially my own relatives who fought and died for teh south....dam them....and dam your relatives to. I hope my and your decendants burn in hell right now. I am certain if one exists that they do.
Visited in 2019 and will go again in 2021. Tears flowed as I toured the cemetery. Thank you for keeping the history alive and honoring all who fought and shaped our great Nation.
I had at least five family members in the 63rd Indiana, in Stiles Brigade entrenchment. Earlier the number was Seven, but two were dead by the time of this late war battle. I have been walking the Eastern Flank portion of the battlefield for decades and am thankful for those who have put so much effort into preserving this historic ground.
Just visited this week. This is a must see if you are near Franklin! Nice to see this explanation of the battle. Our tour guide focused on other aspects of Carnton and not as much about the battle so I left with a lot of questions that this video answered.
I believe my 3rd great grandfather was in the east side. His Ohio 95 infantry was in the battle of Harpeth River...I am not sure if this was this video or what. Thank you for your bringing awareness to the eastern front.
Didn’t Forrest offer to flank the Union lines by crossing the Harpeth river? I always appreciate your presentations but could so far find no reference to this. With all the reasoned defense of Hood he seemed to have, like Bragg, been extremely willing to use men’s lives lavishly
@@TheBattleofFranklinTrust I'd like to suggest uh-BAY-tis as an alternative pronunciation to the word "abatis", heard around the 5:00 mark. Thanks for your openess to my suggestion, and good luck going forward.
Visited winter of 2020
Got to see carter house!
Too cold for anything else but what a treasure Franklin is!!!
Franklin was just a roadbump for the union army.

Do not cry for these solders they burn in Hell for supporting owning people as slaves.

Doing this eastern flank piece is very important because it tells an important story that is often overlooked about this battle!

Stunningly good work!!! This is so impressive and just brings the field to life!!!
My great great grandfather and great great great uncle who were in the 32nd Tennessee Infantry fought at Franklin
Thank you sir,a brilliant explanation of an awful battle, but patriotism and loyalty are always the driving force.
Osage Orange hedge on the east side, thorny. Rebs had a TIME fighting through it.
Great video! Thanks for posting and continuing to educate and save this Hallowed Ground
Can you make a video showing an example of the abatis style entrenchments that the union soldiers built at the Battle of Franklin?
French went on after the war tofound a store still around to thisday. Known as French's Boots

Well done.
Men were tangled and dead standing and were shot to shreds. 😢

Excellent presentation, info, and production. May I offer one small item of constructive criticism?
Go for it
