Overview
"… then there is nothing left me but
to go and see General Grant, and I would rather die
a thousand deaths…"
--Robert E. Lee, April 9, 1865
The Civil War still holds the distinction of being the
bloodiest in American History. It all came to an end,
however, in the parlor of Wilmer McLean’s home
at Appomattox Court House, Virginia, in April, 1865.
While the war may have been bloody, the terms given
by General Ulysses S. Grant to Robert E. Lee for the
surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia were extremely
generous. In this activity, students will analyze these
terms, as well as the events leading to Lee’s
surrender, by investigating Grant’s own memoirs
of this time.
