The Battle of Morrisville, also known as the Battle at Morrisville Station, was fought April 13–15, 1865, in Morrisville, North Carolina during the Carolinas Campaign of the American Civil War. It was the last official battle of the Civil War between the armies of Major General William T. Sherman and General Joseph E. Johnston. General Judson Kilpatrick, commanding officer of the Union cavalry advance, forced Confederate forces, under the command of Generals Wade Hampton III and Joseph Wheeler, to withdraw in haste. The Confederates were frantically trying to transport their remaining supplies and wounded westward, by rail, toward the final Confederate encampment in Greensboro, NC, which, unbeknownst to them, had fallen under attack by the 3rd North Carolina Mounted Infantry as part of Sto

  • De slag bij Morrisville vond plaats tussen 13 april en 15 april 1865 tijdens de Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog. Deze confrontatie was de laatste cavalerieslag van de oorlog en vond plaats tussen de Noordelijke eenheden onder leiding van generaal-majoor William T. Sherman en de Zuidelijke eenheden aangevoerd door generaal Joseph E. Johnston. Generaal , bevelhebber van de Noordelijke voorhoede, versloeg en veroverde een Zuidelijke bagagetrein. Hoewel de Zuidelijken veel voorraden verloren, slaagden ze er toch in om hun gewonden te evacueren. Enkele dagen later stuurde generaal Johnston een boodschapper naar Sherman om te onderhandelen over een wapenstilstand. Op 17 april begonnen de gesprekken in Bennet Place. De volgende dag gaf het Zuidelijke leger onder leiding van Johnston zich formeel over. (nl)

  • The Battle of Morrisville, also known as the Battle at Morrisville Station, was fought April 13–15, 1865, in Morrisville, North Carolina during the Carolinas Campaign of the American Civil War. It was the last official battle of the Civil War between the armies of Major General William T. Sherman and General Joseph E. Johnston. General Judson Kilpatrick, commanding officer of the Union cavalry advance, forced Confederate forces, under the command of Generals Wade Hampton III and Joseph Wheeler, to withdraw in haste. The Confederates were frantically trying to transport their remaining supplies and wounded westward, by rail, toward the final Confederate encampment in Greensboro, NC, which, unbeknownst to them, had fallen under attack by the 3rd North Carolina Mounted Infantry as part of Stoneman's Raid. Kilpatrick used artillery on the heights overlooking Morrisville Station and cavalry charges to push the Confederates out of the small village leaving many needed supplies behind. However, the trains were able to withdraw with wounded soldiers from the Battle of Bentonville and the Battle of Averasborough. Later, General Johnston sent a courier to the Federal encampments at Morrisville with a message for Major General Sherman requesting a conference to discuss an armistice. Several days later the two generals met at Bennett Place on April 17, 1865 to begin discussing the terms of what would become the largest surrender of the war. Due to the development of the area, hardly any evidence of the battle remains. Some heavily trampled breastwork is still visible in the woods by the train tracks. The North Carolina government has installed a sign marking the approximate location of the battle. (en)
