North thought they were going to teach “Johnny Reb’” a lesson and be done. The South drove the North from the field, Northern soldiers dropped everything and ran. There were 600 deaths on both sides.

He commanded three armies, captured Atlanta on Sept 24, 1864. The then embarked on his “March to the Sea” leaving a 40-60 mile wide path of destruction through the heartland of Georgia. Dec. 24, 1864, he wired a telegram to Lincoln offering him an early Christmas present, the city of Savannah.

Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell. - William Tecumseh Sherman Following his successful campaign through Georgia, Sherman turned his attentions northward and began marching through the Carolinas, chasing the Confederates under the command of Joseph E. Johnston. He continued his campaign of destruction, in particular targeting South Carolina for their role in seceding from the Union first. He captured Columbia, South Carolina, on February 17, 1865, setting many fires which would consume large portions of the city. He went on to defeat the forces of Johnston in North Carolina during the Battle of Bentonville, and eventually accepted the surrender of Johnston and all troops in Georgia, Florida, and the Carolinas on April 26, 1865, becoming the largest surrender of Confederate troops during the war. http://www.history.com/topics/american-civil-war/american-civil-warhistory/videos/shermans-terrifyingtactics?m=528e394da93ae&s=undefined&f=1&free=false Fall of Richmond http://www.history.com/topics/american-civil-war/american-civil-warhistory/videos/lincoln-the-fall-ofrichmond?m=528e394da93ae&s=undefined&f=1&free=false Appomattox Court House Surrender April 9, 1865 Appomattox County, Virginia Approximately 9,000 men under Gordon and Fitzhugh Lee deployed in the fields west of the village before dawn and waited. The attack, launched before 8:00 a.m. and led by General Bryan Grimes of North Carolina, was initially successful. The outnumbered Union cavalry fell back, temporarily opening the road. But it was not to be. Union infantry began arriving from the west and south, completing Lee’s encirclement. Meanwhile, Longstreet’s troops were being pressed from the rear near New Hope Church, three miles to the east. General Ulysses S. Grant’s goal of cutting off and destroying Lee’s army was close at hand. Bowing to the inevitable, Lee ordered his troops to retreat through the village and back across the Appomattox River. Small pockets of resistance continued until flags of truce were sent out from the Confederate lines between 10:00 and 11:00 a.m. Rather than destroy his army and sacrifice the lives of his soldiers to no purpose, Lee decided to surrender the Army of Northern Virginia. Although not the end of the war, the surrender of Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia set the stage for its conclusion. Through the lenient terms, Confederate troops were paroled and allowed to return to their homes while Union soldiers were ordered to refrain from overt celebration or taunting. These measures served as a blueprint for the surrender of the remaining Confederate forces throughout the South. Although a formal peace treaty was never signed by the combatants, the submission of the Confederate armies ended the war and began the long and difficult road toward reunification. http://www.civilwar.org/video/appomattox-the-surrender.html Tragedy on the Sultana http://www.history.com/topics/american-civil-war/american-civil-warhistory/videos/tragedy-on-thesultana?m=528e394da93ae&s=undefined&f=1&free=false Civil War Prison Camps http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2003/07/0701_030701_civilwarprison s.html Lee’s Great Regret http://www.history.com/topics/american-civil-war/american-civil-warhistory/videos/robert-e-lees-greatregret?m=528e394da93ae&s=undefined&f=1&free=false Lee’s Warhorses p. 22 Unusual General Deaths p. 83 Impact of the Civil War http://www.history.com/topics/american-civil-war/american-civil-warhistory/videos/impact-of-the-civilwar?m=528e394da93ae&s=undefined&f=1&free=false Price of Southern Secession p.43 http://www.doe.in.gov/sites/lincoln/docs/Lincoln_Resource_9_02/Tab%206/69%20How%20Life%20Changed%208.13.08.pdf Last Widow p.55
