Just wanted to pose a question and see what everyone thinks.
I'm guessing everyone is aware that the Army of Tennessee was delayed in the Florence, Alabama area for nearly three weeks before the invasion of Tennessee began. What do you think might have happened had Hood been able to get his army moving north before November 10, when the only troops standing between him and Nashville were some scattered Union cavalry commands and the Fourth Corps? This is one of those "what ifs" but might be interesting to toss about.
