CSA General Robert E. Lee surrendered his forces (Army of Northern Virginia) to US General Ulysses S. Grant. With the loss of their most capable general, it effectively ended the war against the Confederates. The other substantial Confederate army under Gen. Johnston would surrender to Gen. Sherman on April 25.
I strive for excellence, though in the process, I often set myself on fire.
