Franklin, Tennessee
The city was the site of two Civil War battles, the second of which was devastating to the Confederate Army.  Though the Union Army actually withdrew and thus was a "victory" for the south, they took heavy casualties that decimated the ranks of the Army of Tennessee.  In total, 1,750 Confederate troops were killed and more than 3,800 wounded.  On the other side, the Union Army lost 189 men, 1,033 were wounded and around 1,104 went missing.  The first fifteen minutes of the battle were considered the bloodiest fifteen minutes in United States history.
