The Final Campaign of the Army of Tennessee (Lecture)

On March 8, 1865 William T. Sherman crossed into North Carolina with an army of approximately sixty thousand men. Opposing Sherman was a small, feeble force of Confederates under Joseph Johnston. Over the next two months these two men and their armies would make North Carolina the scene of chaos and conflict. Ranger Philip Brown explores the last days of the Army of Tennessee in North Carolina as the Confederacy collapsed around and within its ranks.
