March 1865 CE

General Lee orders Joseph E. Johnston to take command of the Army of Tennessee and other Confederate units in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida, on February 23, and to "concentrate all available forces and drive back Sherman." (Hughes, Nathaniel Cheairs, Jr. Bentonville: The Final Battle of Sherman and Johnston Chapel Hill, North Caronlia: University of North Carolina Press, 1996, p. 21-22)

Johnston manages to concentrate in North Carolina the Army of Tennessee commanded by Stewart, Major General Robert Hoke's division from the Army of Northern Virginia, troops from the Department of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida commanded by Hardee, and cavalry under the command of Hampton, calling the united force the Army of the South.
