at the Appomattox courthouse.
Neither Abraham Lincoln nor Jefferson Davis (president of the Confederacy) was present at the Appomattox Court House. Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant on April 9, 1865, following an hour and a half long meeting during which it was decided that Confederate cavalry and officers would be allowed to retain their horses and side arms.

Lee surrendered at Appomattox.
No. Grant was president of the US at the time Lee died, and it was too soon after the war for any such gesture to be politically expedient. They were cordial at Appomattox, and recalled having seen one another on the campaign to Mexico City during the Mexican War. But they had not seen each other in the intervening years between the wars, and never met again after Appomattox, and were not personal friends.

The president is the hero of appomattox.
