Good question.
The battle was won by the Army of the Potomac, commanded by General George Meade. It was accompanied by the Union General-in-Chief, U.S. Grant, travelling in a mobile HQ. The issue of which General technically won the battle is debatable.
Some say that Meade, not Grant, should have taken Lee's surrender.
it wasn't a battle. it was here where Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant to end the Civil War. (The Court House at Appomattox.) Actually, there was a battle of Appomattox too (sorry to correct you). And the Union army won. 500 confederates were killed and 27,805 surrendered. Only 164 Union soldiers were killed one more correction- it wasn't at the Court House at Appomattox, the town was called "Appomattox Court House." The official surrender between Lee and Grant took place at a farmer's home there. ya that person is right it was a battle that the union won, and it was the battle that led to the battle in Texas that ended the Civil War.
Gen. Ulysses S. Grant led the Union Army in the Battle of Spotsylvania.
The Battle of Gettysburg was not only the largest battle fought in the Civil War; it was the largest battle ever fought in North America.

Ord's forced march to relieve Sheridan led to Lee's decision to surrender to Grant at Appomattox. NEW RESPONDENT The name of the battle is Appomattox River or Appomattox Station, where the last Confederate assault trying to break through to open the route to Lynchburg, led by Gen. Gordon, was beaten back. Lee, aware that his Army was encircled, decided to surrender.
Burnside led the Union troops.
