The plan was mildly successful, causing Sherman to spread out his forces to protect his supply lines north of Atlanta; however, he led the main strength of his army toward Savannah, Georgia, in what is known as “Sherman’s March to the Sea.” General Nathan Bedford Forrest’s cavalry brigade won some minor skirmishes throughout this march north, using speed and maneuverability to their advantage. Continuing north into Middle Tennessee, Hood attacked Federal troops at Franklin late in the afternoon of November 30, 1864. The Confederates took Franklin, but at great cost, incurring over six thousand casualties including fourteen…
