Grant was courteous to Buckner following the surrender, and offered to loan him money to see him through his impending imprisonment, but Buckner declined. The surrender was a humiliation for Buckner personally, but also a strategic defeat for the Confederacy, losing over 12,000 men and equipment, as well as control of the Cumberland River, which caused the evacuation of Nashville. Buckner was a Union prisoner of war until 15 août 1862, when he was exchanged for Gen. George A. McCall. The following day he was promoted to major general. --Ettrig (d) 24 décembre 2008 à 10:02 (CET)
