"WE SHALL HAVE PEACE AND RECONCILLATION"
GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE SURRENDERS HIS CONFEDERATE ARMY OF 28,000 TROOPS
TO UNION GENERAL ULYSSES S. GRANT, EFFECTIVELY ENDING THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR.
APPOMATTOX COURT HOUSE, VIRGINIA, APRIL 9, 1865.
"April 9th, 1865, was the end of the Civil War for General Robert E. Lee and the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. For Lt. General Ulysses S. Grant and tens of thousands of Federal and Confederate troops fighting further south, the war stretched out for several more months. After Appomattox, however, only the most zealous and desperate could pretend the Union was not already victorious and the Confederacy was destined to end." ~ National Park Service
