The Battle of Appomattox Courthouse was one of the final battles of the Civil War. It was fought at the Virginia town of Appomattox. Robert E. Lee surrendered the remains of his Army of Northern Virginia after the battle, effectively ending major confederate resistance to the Union army. Though the war continued for another month, the Union's victory was a foregone conclusion after Lee's surrender.
