    The 14th USCT led a charge here at Decatur, Ala., On Oct. 28, 1864, to capture a battery and succeeded in driving them off though it was a quite bloody affair for them. It was this action that was the final nail convincing Hood that Beauregard was correct that the army should move on to Tuscumbia/Florence to cross the Tenn River there. This delayed Hood by two weeks on his way to Franklin/Nashville.

    Hurrah! The 16th Indiana gets mention! My gg grandfather and his brother Thomas served there. Grandfather Solomon, wounded in his baptism of fire at Richmond KY was in various hospitals through most of the war was not here. Thomas (Hardy) would likely have been here, as the 16 had been changed to a cavalry later in the war.
    Given the families close relationship with Frederick Douglass, and founding of the Abolitionist cause , I am pleased to hear of him fighting in proximity with Colored Troops. Huzzas to the 16th Indiana

      WHY?? Hood was one of the best Union assets in the entire confederate army. He might have had only one arm and one leg and been addicted to drugs, but he was such a good union asset that after the rebellion was crushed, a U.S. Fort in Texas was named in his honor.

    That had to be humiliating day for 1st Lieutenant Bibb Garner, a Mississippi rebel captured by black union troops while the commanding generals leave the battlefield 8:58. But at least 1Lt. Garner could claim “I was only captured once”. Unlike his Johnson Island traveling companion Major General Edward "Allegheny" Johnson who was captured for a second time at the Battle of Nashville. Respectfully, W.S.

    Confederate officers tried to convince their commander not to attack union defenses. He was brave but his actions resulted in an excessive number of casualties.

    • @wmschooley1234
      @wmschooley1234 14 дней назад

      The fact that Union General initiated an attack on the confederate left flank on 15 Dec. and another attack on the confederate right flank on 16 Dec. might have had something to do with confederate casualities and Hoods AoT being rendered combat ineffective for the rest of the rebellion.

    I try to be nice and not say anything, but listening to this guy's voice is like listening to someone scratching a chalkboard with his fingernails. One more complaint if I may. Please take your mug away and inlarge the subject or subjects you put on for viewers. I don't especially like looking at you as big as Dallas. Please take note. Thank you.
