Description: Located in Durham, North Carolina, Bennett Place was the site of the largest surrender of the American Civil War. Confederate General Johnston agreed upon terms provided by Union General Sherman and thus effectively ended a conflict that costed nearly a million lives. The Unity monument reminds the people of our generation that "a house divided against itself cannot stand", and that we should aim for peace and harmony in our global community.
