Best Answer

He surrendered to the Army of the Potomac at Appomattox Court House. Some say the surrender should have been taken by the army commander Gordon Meade, who had always felt somewhat crowded by General-in-Chief U.S.Grant travelling in a mobile HQ right on his tail. But as Lee was General-in-Chief of the Confederate forces, it did make sense for him to surrender to his opposite number on the Union side, by way of ending the war.
