When Gen. Robert E. Lee fled from Petersburg and Richmond,
Virginia, in April 1865, many observers did not realize that the
Civil War had reached its nadir. A large number of Confederates,
from Jefferson Davis down to the rank-and-file, were determined to
continue fighting. Though Union successes had nearly extinguished
the Confederacy's hope for an outright victory, the South still
believed it could force the Union to grant a negotiated peace that
would salvage some of its war aims. As evidence of the
Confederacy's determination, two major Union campaigns, along with
a number of smaller engagements, were required to quell the
continued organized Confederate military resistance. In Spring 1865
Perry D. Jamieson juxtaposes for the first time the major campaign
against Lee that ended at Appomattox and Gen. William T. Sherman's
march north through the Carolinas, which culminated in Gen. Joseph
E. Johnston's surrender at Bennett Place. Jamieson also addresses
the efforts required to put down armed resistance in the Deep South
and the Trans-Mississippi. As both sides fought for political goals
following Lee's surrender, these campaigns had significant
consequences for the political-military context that shaped the end
of the war as well as Reconstruction.
