In North Carolina, CSA General J. E. Johnston opens surrender talks with Union General W. T. Sherman

Learning of Lee's surrender, Confederate Army of Tennessee commander General Joseph E. Johnston opened face to face negotiations with his Union counterpart, General William T. Sherman, at an Orange County, North Carolina farmhouse. A truce was put in place and after political complications over terms, Johnston surrendered formally the substantial forces under his command nine days later. (By John Osborne)
