On February 3, 1865 Confederate Vice President Alexander Stephens, Assistant Secretary of War John A. Campbell and Confederate Senator R.M.T. Hunter met with President Lincoln and Secretary of State William H. Seward. The meeting took place on the ship River Queen in Hampton Roads. Lincoln and Seward demanded the disbandment of all Rebel forces. The restoration of the Union was Lincoln's main objective. This and the end of armed conflict would potentially save many lives. The Confederates offered no alternative solutions to Lincoln so the meeting resulted in no peace between the Confederacy and the United States.
