By April of 1865, Lee's Army of Northern Virginia was in a state of irreversible repair. Food was in short supply if any, and Grant had Lee surrounded. Grant sent a letter to Lee urging him to "cease all resistance, ...." The only chance Lee had was no chance at all. His depleted army of less than 30,000, he would have to fight an estimated Union force of 80,000 troops to escape to Lynchburg. Grant and Lee met in the home of Wilmer McClean at the Appomattox Court House. There the surrender papers were signed. For all practical purposes the war was over. However, not officially over as there were thousands of other Confederate troops in the South and else where.
