Not at all. By that time the officers and men of both armies were highly experienced veterans, and the southerners, after making their best attempt to break out of the Yankee encirclement, completely comprehended the hopelessness of their situation and the pointlessness that additional fighting would involve. Hence, they surrendered. In the National Cemetery at Appomattox there are a total of fourteen graves. Gettysburg, Antietam, Chancellorsville, The Wilderness, Stones River, Chickamauga and others were all far, far bloodier, by a factor of greater than several hundred times.
