CIVIL WAR ENDS

ON this date in 1865 - At Appomattox Court House, Virginia, General Robert E. Lee surrendered his Confederate Army to Union General Ulysses S. Grant in the parlor of Wilmer McClean's home.

Grant allowed Rebel officers to keep their sidearms and permitted soldiers to keep their horses and mules.

Though there were still Confederate armies in the field, the war was officially over.
