The generals in command of the Union and Confederate armies were Ulysses S. Grant (Union) and Robert E. Lee (Confederacy). Grant's forces were able to trap Lee's in a small town called Appomattox Court House. After days of being under siege, Lee surrendered. Grant was a generous victor; he made soldiers turn over their rifles, but officers were allowed to keep their swords and pistols. He said to his men, "The rebels are our countrymen again." several days later, Lincoln was assassinated.
