Bentonville Battleground
 The battle of Bentonville took place at Bentonville, North Carolina on March 19-21,1865, and was the largest land battle ever fought in North Carolina. The battle was over an area of about six thousand acres of pine woods and fields. By the end of the fighting five hundred forty-three men were killed, over twenty-eight hundred were wounded and the missing numbered nearly nine hundred.
Bentonville was the only significant attempt to stop Sherman on his march northward from Atlanta, and the last major Confederate offensive of the War Between the States.
