Is it true that the Civil War started on land owned by the Mclean family and that they also owned the land where the surrender was signed?

Yes. General Beauregard actually used Wilmer Mclean's farm house for his headquarters during the first battle of Bull Run. After that Mclean figured Northern Virginia was going to be a dangerous place during the war so he sold out and moved his family to Appomattox. In one of the great ironies of history his house was the meeting place for Grant and Lee. Michael Montagne
