Merge proposal

It seems reasonable to include the very brief stub about the historical event (Battle of Ruff's Station) on the location's page (where it is already discussed). Klbrain (talk) 10:52, 5 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Union forces did not rout the CS forces at Ruff's Mill

edit

"... where the Union routed the Confederates, made history as the only line of Confederate earthworks successfully charged and overrun during the Atlanta Campaign." is an incorrect statement. All that was pushed back was the forward line of skirmishers that both armies always placed ahead of their main infantry and artillery line. Hood's main line did not budge and inflicted very heavy losses to the attacking blue coats. Numerous sources support this. Rjr1960 (talk) 05:48, 27 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
