Battle of Franklin II
The Second Battle of Franklin (more popularly known simply as The Battle of Franklin) was fought at Franklin, Tennessee, on November 301864, as part of the Franklin-Nashville Campaign of the American Civil War. It was one of the worst disasters of the war for the Confederate States Army. Although the  Union Army of the Ohio, commanded by  Maj. Gen. John M. Schofield, left the field after the battle, the Confederate Army suffered devastating losses in its unsuccessful frontal assaults against the Union defenders, sometimes called the "Pickett's Charge of the West." A further loss at the subsequent Battle of Nashville in December marked the end of Confederate Lt. Gen. John Bell Hood's Army of Tennessee as a fighting force.
