  1. The Surrender of General Robert E. Lee at Appomattox Court House By: Ricky Cooks, Khabril Kirkendall, Iiyonna Walker, and Alan Missildine

  2. Date: April 9, 1865 • Summary: After the Union “cut the Confederacy in half,” General Robert E. Lee decided that there was no reason in fighting, without losing. He, along with Lt. Col. Marshall, travelled to Appomattox Court House in West Virginia to surrender to General Ulysses S. Grant of the Union. After about an hour and a half after the start of the meeting, Lee and Grant shook hands, basically ending the war, and Lee left. About one month later, the last commander surrendered and the Civil War ended. • Effect: Ended the Civil War, led to the freeing of slaves, and preserved the United States.
