Franklin. Jefferson Davis hated Joseph Johnston and relieved him of command at Atlanta. Davis gave command of the army to J B Hood. Hood was a good corps commander but not an army commander. Hood destroyed his own army by attacking well intrenched Yankees. Hoods men charged over 1+ miles of upward sloping and open terrain and were decimated. p.s. they weren't actually retreating at this time.
