It was ten days' worth of negotiations where Sherman first sat down with Johnston and John Breckinridge. At one point, the Confederates laid down such terms, and Sherman moved his chair back and said, "Well, see here, who's surrendering to whom?" But in fact, Sherman gave very generous terms to the Confederates. In doing so, he thought he was carrying out Lincoln's vision. But he was sharply rebuked by the Union Cabinet, particularly after the death of Lincoln. Grant was actually sent to talk to Sherman. And quite a few important people in the Union Cabinet were worried that Sherman might decide to arrest Grant because they were convinced that Sherman was potentially thinking of some kind of a coup, and he was getting ready to march northward with his legions to take over. That's the kind of chaos and anarchy that was gripping the North in the post-Lincoln assassination period.
