Event Description
April 9, 1865 is cemented into American history as the date of the surrender of General Robert E. Lee to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House, Virginia. Historian Jim Ward will discuss the final throes of the Confederacy beginning with the retreat from Petersburg, the Fall of Richmond, and then the Gentleman's Agreement between Lee and Grant to effectively end the American Civil War.
This program will be presented as a Zoom meeting. The URL for the "meeting" will be emailed to all registrants upon completion of registration and also one day prior to start time.
