•Lincoln waited at City Point for news from General Grant that he had taken Petersburg and defeated the Confederate armies led by General Robert E. Lee. During this tense time, Lincoln was aboard the River Queen, a ship docked outside City Point. While on the ship, he had a dream. He dreamt that he was in the White House and walked in on a group of mourners. When he asked a soldier who had died, the soldier replied, "the President."
•Within days after the dream, the capture of Petersburg, Virginia was completed. Soon after at Appomattox, Confederate troops under General Lee surrendered to General Grant and the Civil War ended in Virginia. Lee's defeat in Virginia helped to end the Civil War, as President Lincoln had wanted. But Lincoln was not to see this peaceful end, because within weeks of his return from City Point, Virginia to Washington, D.C., his life would end tragically, just as his dream had foretold.
