This is a group of four bullets recovered on private property in Williamson County, Tennessee, near the site of the Battle of Franklin that took place on 30 November, 1864. This is considered to be the major engagement of the Franklin - Nashville Campaign, and one of the worst disasters of the war for the Confederate States Army. The Battle of Franklin was fought on 30 November, 1864. The Confederate Army of Tennessee, under the command of Lieutenant General John Bell Hood, had moved back into Tennessee after the fall of Atlanta in hopes of disrupting Union General William T Sherman's supply lines and stopping his advance through Georgia. The Battle of Franklin turned out to be one of the costliest fights the Confederates would endure. Hood ordered futile frontal assaults on the Union positions at Franklin, all of which were repulsed with serious casualties. At the end of the day Confederate losses were over 6200, with 14 generals and 55 regimental commanders being killed, wounded or captured. The Battle of Franklin was the beginning of the end for the Army of Tennessee. Two weeks later the Army of Tennessee was virtually destroyed at the Battle of Nashville.
