Description:
Bentonville Battlefield in North Carolina is the site of the largest Civil War battle fought in the state and one of the last major battles of the war. It took place from March 19-21, 1865, as Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston attempted to slow the advance of Union General William T. Sherman’s forces during their march through the Carolinas. Despite a fierce and desperate defense, the Confederates were ultimately forced to retreat, paving the way for the Union’s final victory. Today, the battlefield is preserved as a state historic site, offering visitors a glimpse into this pivotal moment in American history.
