1865 Appomattox Ending Grant Meeting Meets Surrender


EDITORS COMMENTS
April 9, 1865: A Historic Moment in American History - The Meeting of General Robert E. Lee and General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House This iconic photograph captures one of the most significant moments in American history: the meeting between General Robert E. Lee and General Ulysses S. Grant at the McLean House in Appomattox Court House, Virginia, marking the end of the Civil War. The Civil War, which lasted from 1861 to 1865, was a pivotal period in the United States' history, resulting in the deaths of over 600,000 soldiers and civilians and the emancipation of over 3 million enslaved people. The war ended when General Lee, commander of the Confederate Army, surrendered to General Grant, commander of the Union Army, on April 9, 1865. The meeting between Lee and Grant took place in the parlor of the McLean House, which served as a hospital and headquarters for Union forces during the Battle of Appomattox Court House. In this photograph, Lee, dressed in a gray uniform and wearing a hat, stands respectfully before Grant, who is seated at a table, dressed in a brown coat and wearing a white hat. The scene is one of solemnity and finality, as the two generals discuss the terms of surrender. The significance of this moment is not only the end of the war but also the beginning of the reunification of the country and the start of the long process of healing the wounds of the Civil War. The meeting at Appomattox Court House is a powerful reminder of the importance of peace and reconciliation in the face of conflict and division. This photograph is a testament to the historical importance of the events that transpired at Appomattox Court House in April 1865. It is a reminder of the sacrifices made during the Civil War and the enduring legacy of this pivotal moment in American history.
