Appomattox Court House

This is where the Confederacy surrendered. Once the discussion of the Confederacy's surrender between Confederate General Robert E. Lee and Union General Ulysses S. Grant was complete, 5 years of bloody, painful American Civil War had come to an end. Many Confederate soldiers were dissappointed about the Confederacy's surrender. Many surviving soldiers from both sides had to walk miles to reach their homes and families again.
