After the Civil War, General Robert E. Lee met with General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House to discuss the terms of surrender. Lee expressed his desire for reconciliation and unity, famously stating that he hoped the nation could heal and move forward together. Grant, in return, showed magnanimity by offering generous terms, allowing Lee's troops to return home with their horses and sidearms. This meeting symbolized the beginning of healing for a deeply divided nation.
