The North's greatest victory during the Civil War, would be the surrender of the South, through its commander Robert E. Lee.

The two commanders met at Appomattox Court House, on April 9, 1865. Grant allowed the Confederate soldiers to return home, surrendering only their arms and artillery.

Lee did not offer his sword in defeat; Grant did not ask for it. Five days later, President Lincoln was shot while attending a play at Ford's Theater. It was a tragic ending to a tragic war.
