Headline story concerns Gen. Joseph Johnston’s surrender of his army to Gen. Sherman. Johnston commanded the largest remaining forces of the Confederate Army after Lee’s surrender at Appomattox. Sherman proposed very lenient surrender terms to Johnston, which caused an uproar in Washington, DC and in the press. U.S. Grant was sent to reset the terms of the surrender. It was the largest CS surrender of the war, encompassing 89,000 Confederate troops in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. As a comparison, Lee surrendered 26,000 troops. There is much detail in the article about the surrender and its terms.
