I love the way you bring our history to life, Mr Jacobson. Truly love that you share so much with everyone... we must never forget our history, no matter of how good, bad, or indifferent it was. It's when we forget, that we are certainly doomed to repeat it. This world of knowledge that you bring is phenomenal Sir! Thank you! 💖
I visited the Cater house around 1994 when my daughter lived nearby. It is wonderful that the Trust has acquired so much land around there and expanded the site to be able to tell the history of the battle in greater detail. Some friends will be moving near there next year. I will be visiting them and will be back at the Carter house and museum. I watch almost all the BOFT videos. I am from northeast Ohio and am fascinated that Ohian's had such a big role in the battle.
Thank you.
I just Visited here such a beautiful place
It took this battle, upon deeper study later in life, to awaken me to the realism and plight of regular folks in this war. As a lifelong CW historian, I just had never felt that tenderness before, and when you mix in Carters, Sam Watkins, Cleburne and fiancée, Opdyke ... JBH and Buck Preston, it's a wonderfully tragic, lost and forlorn setting & atmosphere. I used to bring my bad quality VHS burn of Civil War Journal's surprisingly touching portrait of Franklin on trips and such, not to punish friends-family who claimed to be buffs ;-) .... but in a way to share this amazing feeling; a sensational nostalgia. A heavy nostalgia for a glimpse in time I was not part of, was not at, or had anything to do with.
Your videos with The American Battlefield Trust a few months back led me to your channel. This battle has really captured my imagination at a time when I'm trying to retire to Tennessee from Colorado. Life long history buff. Cant wait to explore the battlefields there.
I hope that day is remembered as we seem to be breaking down once again into waring fragments of hotly opposing points of view
Thanks for sharing this so interesting video . Well done ✅
Well done
I always enjoy the historical pics juxtaposed with the modern view. Do you have those for the roads?
Wow.......another great story.
President Polk's butler at his Nashville residence Henry Carter Jr., his father was purchased through the Carter family by Polk.
Mr. Jacobson: While not on point to this carter family video, my question is about Schofield’s escape North on the Columbia Turnpike the night of Novermber 29, 1864. How much did the topography between Spring Hill, Thompson’s Station, and then Franklin contribute, if at all, to Schofield’s being able to get into Franklin with some 20,000 soldiers? With the Confederates bivouacked within a couple of hundred yards of the Columbia Turnpike, where they in a swale or depression? Did an acoustical shadow or dead zone exist that masked the noise of the Union retreat? Or did the bivouacked troops hear the noise and just think it was confederate forces on the move? Respectfully, W.S.
Check out our video about the Battle of Spring Hill. It should answer most of your questions! Thanks.
The picture of Frank Carter...He was African American? A descendant of the Carter family?
High quality videos. I can’t wait till I make it out that way from Richmond, I’m Chris. I’ll let you know when I get there sometime
The Civil War was not exactly about ending slavery. It seems to me, it was more about economics/trade and Europe.
The Southern States were the backbone and financial powerhouse of America.
The North, primary NYC & Massachusetts wanted to control the trade and commerce from Planters in the South and Europe via tariffs. NY had the largest international port.
In a nutshell, the Planters refused to pay the demands levied on them, and the North took advantage of the abolitionists, some married to prominent politicians who quickly turned it into political maneuvering. It was the only way to break up the South.
Without slaves, the Planters became financially ruined.
I love your channel and am aware of the Carters because of the work you do but the title for the video made me think immediately of the early 20th-century folk band from Virginia and not the battle. xD
