Franklin and Nashville Campaign a Confederate plan pursued by Confederate Gen.
John B. Hood during the
Civil War that attempted to cut communication lines between Union Gen.
William T. Sherman, who had just captured
Atlanta, and Union forces to the north. Hood's forces tried to destroy the railroad between Murfreesborough and Nashville in Tennessee. Hood's attempt led to the
Battle of Franklin on November 30, 1864, and the
Battle of Nashville on December 15, 1864. Both were Union victories; they marked the last major battles west of the Appalachians.
