Appomattox Campaign

The Appomattox Campaign was a series of military movements and battles in April 1865 that led to the surrender of the Confederate Army under General Robert E. Lee to Union forces commanded by General Ulysses S. Grant. It took place in Virginia and marked the final chapter of the American Civil War. The campaign involved strategic fights and maneuvers as the Confederates tried to escape or regroup, but ultimately, Union forces outmaneuvered them. Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865, effectively ended the Confederacy’s resistance, bringing the war closer to its conclusion.
