well, let's talk about franklin. let's jump in to what i humbly submit are just a very, very few, a small fraction of some of the critical decisions that helped shape the battle of franklin. november 30th, 1864. and here we see the first of what i think are these important, critical decisions. davis retains good in command. all right. on paper at least, john bel hood looked like the right man for the job. hood's rise to command was nothing short of meteoric, having begun at the regimental level and eventually division command in a major general c in the army of northern virginia who had carved out a reputation for physical courage and aggressiveness in battle. leading his texas brigade in a costly but overwhelming charge at james's mill in 1862 and guiding his division in pivotal attacks at second, manassas and antietam the very same year he was wounded in the left arm at gettysburg in july 1863, and he returned to the field that september temporarily commanding an entire corps under james longstreet during the confe

he did not want to fight at franklin. but schofield, i think, to his credit, did what he had to do, which is make a stand, hope for the best, and get what he to get out of there, hopefully, saving the army. okay. back to twin -- hood. hood's decision to order the attack at franklin is probably the first one that came to your mind, i would imagine. certainly, if you think about the battle of franklin, that is probably the decision most people argue about and talk about more than, potentially, and the other one. it is certainly the decision i think that is the most controversial of the battle. why did john bell hood attack at franklin? what was this guy thinking? now, context. the same morning that schofield and the union army are fleeing and heading to franklin and making their decision of whether to stand or leave, the same morning hood is also not a happy man. he is having a breakfast conference with his chief subordinates the house just outside spring hill. at this conference, benjamin franklin cheatham and nathan forre

decisions at franklin. as chris pointed out involves 19 street critical decisions in which you will not cover all of. she starts to worry. in fact my purpose is not to assess the american falls in every possible decision the civil war commanders made in the franklin operation. it would be impossible. there are thousands of decisions including the days of civil war generals and commanders. union forces at franklin, where do i deploy the brigade. that is not what we are here to do. that is not necessarily the best use of our time. also posing up and suggesting there is a temptation for historians when looking at decisions of past doctors to play monday morning quarterback and to engage into a command performance evaluation approach which i also suggested potentially problematic. certainly the decisions that are made under pressure and under time constraints with limited information, 160 years ago, and very different decisions that we make with safety and comfort of the easy chairs. i think that certainly a me
