Franklin-Nashville Campaign

The Franklin-Nashville Campaign, also known as Hood's Tennessee Campaign, was a series of battles fought in the fall of 1864 in Alabama, Tennessee, and northwestern Georgia during the American Civil War. The Confederate Army of Tennessee under General John Bell Hood drove north from Atlanta, threatening William T. Sherman's lines of communications and central Tennessee, but Union forces under General George H. Thomas defeated Hood decisively at Nashville, Tennessee.
