The Surrender of Confederate Forces in North Carolina, American Civil War, 1865
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this lithograph by Currier and Ives, we witness a historic moment that marked the beginning of the end for the Confederacy. Union General William Tecumseh Sherman stands tall on the left side of the image, his military uniform exuding authority and determination. On his right is Confederate General Joseph E Johnston, both men engaged in a serious conversation about the terms of surrender. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery, with horses grazing peacefully nearby. The tension between these two commanders is palpable as they negotiate an agreement that would bring an end to Johnston's army's resistance. Sherman's arms are folded across his chest, showcasing his unwavering resolve while Johnston listens intently, contemplating their options. Their attire reflects their respective allegiances - Sherman donning Union blue and Johnston clad in Confederate gray. This print captures not only a pivotal moment in American history but also highlights the complexities and consequences of war. It serves as a reminder that even amidst conflict and division, dialogue can pave the way for resolution. Currier and Ives have masterfully depicted this significant encounter through their skilled artistry. Through this print, we are transported back to 1865 when these two generals met on North Carolina soil to discuss surrender terms – forever etching their names into America's rich tapestry of courage and compromise.
