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
Not because you are a Yankee or a rebel person 😂you can tell it as if a person is right there on the battlefield ❤love lessoning to your content ❤❤❤❤😂😊
Was last line an intentional pun or an unintentional mistake? Either way, I love it and will likely use your phrasing "love lessoning to your content" as a compliment to others in the future. Thanks!
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.
Brights disease is a kidney ailment.i had a female ancestor in the fifties die of it when she was only 15. Very sad.one of my neighbor's went to school with her.
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.
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.
Another interesting presentation. Many thanks.

Was the 16th Indiana formed near Terre Haute?
@ across the state. The muster says they were formed in Richmond, IN but Co. A at least was Madison County.
@silverstar4289 ok thanks
Such a prosaic narrative! I'll assume the writer did not personally witness "Cavalry being gently thrashed!"
How were you able to i.d. the photo of l.t. Bib ? Was his name witen on the photo ?

Hood should have been court martialed for that battle.

@ funny
@@wmschooley1234 General Hood was a confederate general.
I think of Sam Watkins every time I read about the battle of Franklin

The LT looks bi-racial. Was that the photographer? Or was he able to “pass”?
It was a mystery why Fort Hood was ever named after such an incompetent general. Plus, he was a traitor.

I disagree. Mr. Coddington, keep doing what you are doing. It's informative and worth watching.
