North Carolina Monument This monument, dedicated in 1992, honors the soldiers from North Carolina who fought and died at the March 19 to 21, 1865 Battle of Bentonville, North Carolina. Many of the soldiers who died lie in a mass Confederate grave near the monument. A total of 3,092 Confederate soldiers became casualties in the engagement, which was the last offensive movement by General Joseph E. Johnston's Army of Tennessee. A month later he surrendered the remnants of his forces at Greensboro, North Carolina. (Bio by: Russ Dodge) Bentonville National Battlefield, Bentonville, Johnston County, North Carolina, USA
