The two generals who met in Durham, North Carolina, to effectively end the Civil War in that region were General William Tecumseh Sherman of the Union Army and General Joseph E. Johnston of the Confederate Army. Their meeting took place on April 18, 1865, where they negotiated terms of surrender. This meeting followed the fall of Richmond and the surrender of General Robert E. Lee's army at Appomattox Court House. The terms agreed upon were later formalized, leading to Johnston's surrender on April 26, 1865.
