The surrender of Robert E. Lee at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865, stands as a watershed moment in American history, marking the effective end of the Civil War. Confederate General Robert E. Lee, commanding the Army of Northern Virginia, faced Union General Ulysses S. Grant in the final stages of the conflict. Recognizing the untenable situation and the inevitability of defeat, Lee opted to surrender, leading to a meeting with Grant at the residence of Wilmer McLean. Grant offered generous terms, allowing Confederate officers to keep their sidearms and permitting soldiers to return home with their horses. This magnanimous approach aimed at fostering national healing and reconciliation. The surrender at Appomattox symbolized the triumph of the Union and set the stage for the country's path toward reunification. The terms and tone of the surrender contributed to a sense of unity and a desire for reconstruction, marking a critical step in the nation's journey beyond the scars of civil conflict.
