The Battle of Bentonville, fought March 19-21, 1865, was the last full-scale action of the Civil War in which a Confederate army was able to mount a tactical offensive. This major battle, the largest ever fought in North Carolina, was the only significant attempt to defeat the large Union army of Gen. William T. Sherman during its march through the Carolinas in the spring of 1865.

It was a shame that both battles were on the opposite sides of the field away from the spectators.

Thx luvscats, this place is where the CW bug got me, i'm obsessed with esp. CW picture taking of the graves now, travel NC now. Something about this place, like it captures people's emotions so much.
