Re-enactment of the Battle of Franklin

The monumental Battle of Franklin occurred 150 years ago, and on Saturday people from across the state gathered to honor the memory of the battle with a re-enactment.

The Eastern Flank Battlefield of the Carnton Plantation welcomed 5,000 spectators and 700 re-enactors for the occasion.

We heard from Abraham Lincoln, and bring you footage from behind the cannons on the battlefield.

  1. I enjoyed the video. I’ve read a lot of Civil War history and seen several re-enactments. This was super realistic! Great photography.
