Appomattox Court House National Historical Park Description

In Appomattox Court House, near the little town of that name in western Virginia, on April 9th 1865, the northern General Ulysses S. Grant and the Confederate leader General Robert E. Lee negotiated the surrender of the southern army and thus ended the Civil War.
