The other thing they could have done potentially was to cut off the kite so cut off the pike so they could be met by resistance. The thing there are two minus ascension made about with the federals would have done which is essentially they would have inevitably been destroyed. At spring hill, they had an opportunity of destroying or dismantling a large part of the union army. In some ways, this never gets the attention it is due, the yankees appear as unwitting accomplices of confederates who were bent on destroying them. These were veteran federal soldiers. These were battle hardened veterans of the Atlantic Campaign it elsewhere. The idea they would simply encounter confederate troops and meekly handed over the weapons is preposterous. There could have been a battle. It could have been at spring hill. I think the idea that the federals would have been dispatched with ease is simply nonsense. You can do what i did with my toy soldiers. You can do whatever you want with your imaginatio
Screeria nigeria. The tenhour drive, frankly was definitely worth it. According to your program, what were supposed to do today is first offer some insights speak briefly on a portion of the campaign they believed to be particularly illuminating. Two things ill do real quickly, if i can, the first one deals with spring hill. Spring hill was the day before the battle of franklin and what it represented was a lost opportunity to attack some union troops either at spring hill itself or some who were in colombia and would come up to Franklin Pike that night. Essentially what happened is a profound mystery in many ways. Hood planned a flanking movement which was extremely successful. In fact there were federal troops still at columbia who were going to come up the pike that night. They failed to do two things. They could have launched an attack on the yankees who were in spring hill. They did not do that. There was a fight but it was not the larger fight that i think the generals had contem
Okay. The question was, how forrest and hood related to each other at the springhill situation, is that what i understand . And nashville. And nashville. Well, in regard to franklin, certainly, forrest did not agree with hoods decision to attack there. Back at springhill, it seems to me that forrest was never fully clear about hood allegedly wanting to block the pike, and instead was coming in and attacking the union troops that were marshaled there, maybe some 6500, rather than trying to concentrate on blocking the pike. I think theres misunderstanding certainly between hood and forrest at springhill. I dont know that that particularly affected what happened the next day at franklin. I think that probably forrest just disagreed totally with the idea of a frontal attack, a frontal assault at franklin and, of course, wanted to try and blank the federals out of their position. I think another interesting point is that what happened in the nashville circumstances, forrest was detached and
