Show Notes

“I feel that it is … my duty to shift from myself the responsibility of any further effusion of blood, by asking you to surrender … the army of Northern Virginia. Very respectfully, U. S. Grant.”

This is the story of one army surrendering to another. Of foes becoming brothers once more. This is the Surrender at Appomattox.
