Meade was the victor of the Battle of Gettysburg, often called the Confederate High Watermark.
He then continued to command the Army of the Potomac till the end of the war, though he was accompanied by his General-in-Chief, U.S. Grant, travelling in a mobile HQ, somewhat to Meade's embarrassment.
In the Battle of the Crater, at Petersburg, Meade was chiefly to blame for the counter-orders that led to the disaster, though Grant did approve these.
At Appomattox, Lee surrendered to Grant as one General-in-Chief to another. As he only surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia, and not the other Confederate armies, some say he should have surrendered it to the commander of the army that defeated him, and that was Meade.
