Johnston managed to win a small victory in the surprise attack at Bentonville, but was forced to retreat to Raleigh and then Greensboro. Upon hearing of General Lee's surrender at Appomattox in Virginia, Johnston negotiated with Sherman for the surrender of his remaining forces and the forces in the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida—89,270 soldiers in total. Sherman issued rations to the defeated Confederate soldiers and distributed flour, corn and other foodstuffs to civilians throughout the South. Johnston was so impressed with his generosity that he later wrote that the act "reconciles me to what I have previously regarded as the misfortune of my life, that of having you to encounter in the field." 830 0 General William Tecumseh Sherman anthology. 830 0 BiblioBoard Core module. 830 4 The North American Review ;|vvol. 143. 914 MODID-00000000001_APPID-00000001355_ACID-000000000068807
