CSA. The Provisional Government of the Confederate States of America that came into existence on 8 February 1861 was officially pronounced to be the Permanent Government of the seceded Confederate States. All decisions and acts of the government hitherto had been technically “provisional”, pending the achievement of independence and international recognition. As hopes of independence and sovereignty faded, the government decided nevertheless to legitimise its existence by decree.

North Carolina. Disturbed by the dearth of clear communications, the recurring proposal of extravagant strategic plans, and the recurring ill health of General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard, General Robert Edward Lee requested President Jefferson Finis Davis to replace Beauregard with General Joseph Eggleston Johnston. Beauregard had attempted to concentrate his forces before Union Major-General William Tecumseh Sherman could reach Columbia, the capital of South Carolina. However, his urgent dispatches to Richmond were treated with some incredulity as Davis and Lee found it hard to accept that Sherman was advancing without a supply line as quickly as Beauregard reported.
Johnston was recalled from inactivity and Beauregard became his second in command, effectively his chief of staff, after Johnston arrived. Beauregard, although outwardly cooperative and courteous to Johnston, was bitterly disappointed about his replacement. Johnston was assigned to command the Army of Tennessee and the Department of Tennessee and Georgia. He also took over the Department of South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee. His orders were to collect all available forces to oppose Major-General William Tecumseh Sherman’s advance from South Carolina into North Carolina.
Johnston notified General Robert Edward Lee that he believed a combination of his troops with those of General Braxton Bragg in North Carolina was essential in order to mount an effective resistance. Johnston gradually managed to concentrate all his available field forces in North Carolina. These included remnants of several major commands drawn from near and far. The Army of Tennessee was commanded temporarily by Lieutenant-General Alexander Peter Stewart and was divided into three corps temporarily led by Major-General William Brimage Bate, Major-General Daniel Harvey Hill, and Major-General William Wing Loring. This army was in the process of being transferred from Mississippi by rail and only 4,500 men had arrived by February. Two of the permanent corps commanders, Lieutenant-General Benjamin Franklin Cheatham and Lieutenant-General Stephen Dill Lee, were currently absent. Major-General Robert Frederick Hoke’s division from Bragg’s Department of North Carolina was withdrawing from its positions opposing the Union advance from the coast to Wilmington. The remaining field forces of the Department of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida were commanded by Lieutenant-General William Joseph Hardee and included the divisions of Major-General Lafayette McLaws and Brigadier-General William Booth Taliaferro. Major-General Ambrose Ransom Wright’s division of Georgia Militia had been recalled back to Georgia on 23 February 1865 and was no longer available. The cavalry was led by Lieutenant-General Wade Hampton. It included Major-General Matthew Calbraith Butler’s division (sent from the Army of Northern Virginia) and Major-General Joseph Wheeler’s cavalry. Despite the grand names of some of these organisations, Johnston could concentrate barely 25,000 men, many of them lacking weapons, equipment, or transportation. There was a severe shortage of horses, artillery, and wagons.
Johnston initially hoped to concentrate his forces at Fayetteville, with the aim of attacking part of Union Major-General William Tecumseh Sherman’s forces while it was crossing the Cape Fear River. Sherman had moved more rapidly than Johnston anticipated and this plan proved impractical. Likewise, the Union forces advancing from Wilmington towards Goldsboro were soon threatening Johnston’s eastern flank. Deciding that his position at Fayetteville was too vulnerable to a concentric advance, Johnston retreated to Smithfield to concentrate his army. Johnston arrived at his headquarters at Smithfield on 27 February 1865.

Wilmington, North Carolina. The Confederates abandoned Fort Strong on the Cape Fear River. Meanwhile, Confederate General Braxton Bragg had ordered the overnight evacuation of the now-defenceless port of Wilmington. The city of Wilmington was occupied by Union forces as Major-General Alfred Howe Terry’s expeditionary force and Major-General Jacob Dolson Cox’s XXIII Corps marched into the city. They occupied the abandoned Fort Strong and the city surrendered formally to Union Major-General John McAllister Schofield. The capture of Wilmington closed the last major port of the Confederate States on the Atlantic coast. Union Rear Admiral David Dixon Porter’s ships steamed up the Cape Fear River in support of the advance and entered the harbour, which had been an active centre for blockade runners. With the fall of the port, the Union blockade of the Confederacy was finally and fully accomplished. (CWSAC Limited Battle Union Victory)

South Carolina. Skirmish near Camden.

South Carolina. Skirmish near the Wateree River.

South Carolina. The Union armies of Major-General William Tecumseh Sherman changed direction north of Winnsboro to cross the Wateree River, fifteen miles to the east, in the direction of Cheraw. Sherman set his new objectives as Fayette and Goldsboro in North Carolina, where he would make a rendezvous with the forces under Major-General John McAllister Schofield advancing inland from Wilmington and New Bern.

Tennessee. Skirmish near Greeneville (Greenville).

Virginia. Confederate General Robert Edward Lee drew up contingency plans to retreat to Burkeville and to unite with the Confederate forces gathering in North Carolina. These preparations were made in anticipation that the army might soon be forced to leave its defensive positions around Petersburg and Richmond. Lee notified the imminent necessity of withdrawal to President Jefferson Finis Davis. He indicated that the only way to forestall the advance of Union Major-General William Tecumseh Sherman would be for Lee to combine his army with that of General Joseph Eggleston Johnston, by moving his troops by rail through Danville. Lee hoped that a raid movement by rail would evade any close pursuit by the Union armies around Richmond and Petersburg. The possible escape of the Confederate army from Virginia was a matter of concern to Lieutenant-General Ulysses Simpson Grant, who wanted to keep Lee’s army pinned down and static. The lean Confederate armies could quickly outrun pursuit, especially if the railroad to North Carolina remained in Confederate hands to speed their way and move their supplies.
