- The Joint Expedition Against Franklin was a joint engagement between the United States Army & Navy and the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. The engagement was intended to move Union forces into an area where confederate forces were gathering as they prepared to move on Suffolk, Virginia. Originally planned as a coordinated two-pronged attack with a Naval flotilla supporting an infantry advance on Franklin, Virginia, communications delays caused the Navy to depart for the mission which the Army was not yet supporting. Instead, October 3, 1862 (1862-10-03) found Union Naval forces on the Blackwater River greatly outnumbered by Confederate infantrymen and ultimately forced to retreat. Simultaneously, a nearby Army reconnaissance team conducted a failed assault on the town on the basis that the audibly nearby Naval forces—which they did not know were then in retreat—would bring support. The outcome left the Union forces with a combined 5 casualties and 21 wounded. Dialogue between officers following the conflict left the Union navy questioning the usefulness of gun boats in joint expedition settings in which they would not be capable of supporting themselves.
