General Robert E. Lee was forced to surrender the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia to Union General Ulysses S. Grant on April 9, 1865, at Appomattox Court House, Virginia. After a series of decisive battles and dwindling supplies, Lee found his forces encircled and outnumbered. Recognizing the futility of continuing the fight and to prevent further loss of life, he opted for surrender. This marked a significant turning point in the American Civil War, leading to the eventual collapse of the Confederacy.
