Ok, so I've been digging quite a few Confederate relics as of late so in my latest video I decided to give a little insight regarding the location where I'm making my finds.
Cassville Georgia is a small town in my home county. During the Civil War it was not only the County Seat but it was one of the largest and most prosperous towns north of Atlanta. As the war progressed southward, Johnston, who was over the Confederates at the time, found the long running ridge, which cut through the heart of Cassville, a grand place to set up for battle. History is not unbiased, however, and trying to determine whether John Bell Hood's cause of retreat was warranted or not is no easy task. Some have told me that Hood, due to his various war injuries, was hooked on opium at the time and the paranoia brought on by the drug caused him to defy Johnston. Johnston went to his grave believing that Hood had acted upon false information. Many people believe that if Hood had followed orders, the entire war would have been different.
From my own personal research, I believe that Hood probably was influenced by his opium intake and I believe that Cassville was a missed opportunity for the Confederates.
