Here are a few more facts about Lee during the surrender. - Lee knew how to move an army quickly over many miles, and he had a great sense of when to attack and when to withdraw. He also was considered one of the greatest military leaders in the United States history. And he believed that being dressed in a proper, well cared for uniform was important. But Lee was also a great and strong leader for the United States, and will forever be respected for his actions during this time as well. (5)

Here are a few more facts about Grant during the surrender. - Northerners said that Ulysses S. Grant's initials stood for " Unconditional Surrender," because he vowed to continue to fight until the South Surrendered. He also showed great respect and compassion to General Lee and the Southern Soldiers. They also considered Grant a sloppy dresser and did not take care of his uniform very well. But Grant was still a great American leader, and we be forever respected for his actions during this time. (5)

There were terms that both Lee and Grant had agreed upon during the meeting. Some were that the roles of the officers and men were made in duplicate, both officers were given individual paroles not to take up arms against the government until property exchanged, each company would sign a parole for the men of their commands, and others too. They seemed to not have too much trouble agreeing with one another, and I thought these terms were overall fair; Grant still got to have his power, but he was also still being considerate to Lee and his troops. (3)

Lee and Grant were both dressed very differently during this meeting; Grant was not expecting to have the meeting very soon, so he didn't look the nicest and cleanest. He wore a  single-breasted blouse, made of dark-blue flannel, unbuttoned in front, and showing a waistcoat underneath. He wore an ordinary pair of top-boots, with his trousers inside, and was without spurs. The boots and portions of his clothes were spattered with mud. He had no sword, and a pair of shoulder-straps was all there was about him to designate his rank. In fact, aside from these, his uniform was that of a private soldier. But Lee on the other hand, was wearing a new uniform of Confederate gray, buttoned up to the throat, and at his side he carried a long sword of exceedingly fine workmanship, the hilt studded with jewels. His top-boots were comparatively new, and seemed to have on them some ornamental stitching of red silk. Like his uniform, they were singularly clean, and but little travel-stained. On the boots were handsome spurs, with large rowels. A felt hat, which in color matched pretty closely that of his uniform. They were dressed vastly different during this meeting, and it was striking to many. They sat also sat 10 feet apart facing each other (3).

Here is a picture of what the meeting looked like, found from cite number 3.

Once the fighting and battle was over, Lee and Grant had sat down to have a conversation. After a series of notes between the two leaders, they agreed to meet on April 9, 1865, at the house of Wilmer McLean in the village of Appomattox Courthouse. The meeting lasted approximately two and one-half hours and at its conclusion the bloodiest conflict in the nation's history neared its end. During this conversation, Lee seemed to be pretty mellow and calm, but still worried about what Grant was saying. Grant was pretty open, and not too worried. They had a nice conversation, and ended up agreeing upon a compromise- which I thought was pretty nice. Grant was pretty kind to Lee, and gave him some good things that him and his army needed, but they were also now Grant's prisoners, and there was still rules with that too (3).

Grant and Lee had both conducted amazingly strong armies during this long and brutal war. They both fought very hard, and gave it their all to win for what they wanted. Lee ended up surrendering to Grant at the end of the Civil War. During this surrender, Lee was obviously very devastated that he had to surrender, but he had lost so many of his men, so he had to. Grant was obviously very pleased that he had now won, but he wasn't obnoxious about it either. He did feel bad for Lee and his army, since they looked very defeated.  (3)

Robert E. Lee was born in Stratford Hall, Virginia, on January 19th, 1807. Lee served as a military officer in the U.S. Army, a West Point commandant and the legendary general of the Confederate Army during the American Civil War (1861-65). In June 1861, Lee assumed command of the Army of Northern Virginia, which he would lead for the rest of the war. He was a very brave and strong man, but he did end up surrendering to General Ulysses S. Grant and his army after a long and brutal war. (2)

Ulysses S. Grant was born in Point Pleasant , Ohio on April 27th, 1822. He had won many battles and fights before, and was a very strong and intelligent man. But in March 1864, President Lincoln elevated Grant to the rank of lieutenant general, and named him general-in-chief of the Armies of the United States.  Grant was the general of the Union Army during the American Civil War (1861-1865). Once Grant was named this, he marked his headquarters with the Army of the Potomac, and was determined to crush Robert E. Lee and his army at any cost. Grant ended up coming out of the Civil War with a victory, because Lee and his army surrendered to him at the end. (1)

I chose question number 4, asking to compare Grant to Lee in regard to the way they conducted themselves during the surrender.

The Civil War lasted about 4 years. The north and south were fighting over slavery and state rights. Before the war started, the north and south had already had disagreements before, but after President Lincoln got elected, the south was just about done. 11 states then seceded from the union- including South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Virginia, Arkansas, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. The Civil War began when he Confederates bombarded the Union Soldiers at Fort Sumter, South Carolina, on April 12, 1861. About 620,000 casualties in this war, and the battle of Gettysburg was the bloodies battle, with about 51,000 casualties. This war was very brutal, and so many lost their lives (4).
