The surrender of the Confederate General of the Army of Northern Virginia, Robert E. Lee to the commander of the Union's Army of the Potomac, Ulysses S. Grant, ended the US Civil War. The date was April 9, 1865. Lee was the military leader of the Confederacy and as such, his surrender was valid. A few Southern military men wanted to fight a guerrilla war to harass the North but Lee was opposed to this. President Jefferson Davis of the Confederacy accepted Lee's action in ending the war.
General Grant's army defeated General Lee's army and Grant accepted Lee's surrender at Appomattox Courthouse. Grant's treatment of Lee was characterized by such respect and generosity that Lee would not permit a bad word to be spoken about the man who had beaten him.
