On March 29, 1865 was fought the Battle of Five Forks, in which the Confederates were decisively defeated, thus allowing the Union Army to outflank and then break through their defensive line seizing Petersburg on April 2, 1865.
That led to the fall of Richmond on april 3rd and the hastily retreat westward of the remnant of Lee's army, which encircled by Grant's Army, surrendered on April 9, 1865, at Appomattox Court House.
