Six Confederate generals were killed at Franklin and four or five of the six were laid out at the back portico of the Carnton House which still stands. Those killed included General Pat Cleburne and General States Rights Gist.
Those Freepers who patronize liberal Blacks and Yankees by saying that the Democrats have always been racists and are the same people as the Democrats of today would do well to read more about Pat Cleburne and what he said about the importance of Confederate victory. And how many Democrats of today give a flip about States Rights or individual rights.
I wish people would stop thinking the war was about slavery.
Here’s a good article.
