Grant did not surrender to Lee. Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House in Virginia. This is not an actual courthouse in the way we currently know the term, but the name of the village was actually Appomattox Court House because the county courthouse was located there. Lee surrendered to Grant in the parlor of the home of Wilmer McLean, a Virginia grocer.
The Civil War ended when the Confederate Genral ( Lee ) surrendered to the Union General (Grant ). They met at Appomattox Courthouse ( yes that's the city name ) in Virginia on April 9, 1865.
