(1/2) > >>

Sectionhand:
On this day , April 9th 1865 , Gen . Grant surrendered to Gen. Lee at Appomattox Court House , Va. ending the American Civil War . According to an addendum on the reverse side of the surrender document Gen. Lee agreed to make it look as if he had surrendered to Grant .

( Okay so it WAS the other way around ! But liberals are revising history every day so why can't I ? )

Grant was a Republican

One of the many ironies of the Civil War:


--- Quote ---Because the First Battle of Bull Run, fought on July 21, 1861, took place on Wilmer McLean's farm about 120 miles (190 km) to the north in Virginia, it can be said that the Civil War started in McLean's backyard in 1861 and ended in his parlor in 1865.

Welcome, RickZ!

You forgot to include a link, but I remember hearing that in Ken Burns' series.  Hell, that's not just one of the greatest ironies of the Civil War, it's one of the greatest ironies in all history.
