Major General Patrick Ronayne Cleburne was angry on the march from Spring Hill, Tennessee, toward the small town of Franklin in the late morning hours of November 30, 1864. After the campaign he was going to demand a full investigation to defend his conduct on November 29 at Spring Hill where the Federals slipped past the Southern forces. General Cleburne had been given information from a “reliable channel” that he was being blamed by General John Bell Hood for the Confederate failure the day before.
He was defeated because of General John Bell Hood's orders on a frontal assault on strong union positions. Which was majorly from personal motives and objectives.
Explanation:
The battle was for five hours, which is one of the most bloody in history. It involves the Union and Confederate soldiers. His enemy (The Confederates) were able to launch a counterattack on the union, he thought he had lost and ran away. At least six of the Confederacy's generals were killed in the battle, while others were severely wounded or captured.
He was defeated because of General John Bell Hood's orders on a frontal assault on strong union positions.
