During the Battle of Nashville, his units were decimated by the North. General Thomas, a Union commander, gained significant credit for the success of this battle. More significantly, many gave credit to General Thomas' planning and execution of the Battle of Nashville as being critical to the overall success of the North during the Civil War.
