Explanation: In what was one of the final battles of the Civil War, General Lee attempted to drive past Union forces near the town of Appomattox Court House, Virginia on April 9, 1865. Lee believed that there were only lightly armed cavalry in front of him and if he could break through he could unite his army with that of General Joseph E. Johnston.

Later that day, he surrendered to Grant and 28,000 troops were given parole- having to put down their guns, but able to return to their homes and not be prosecuted.
