Less than a week after Lee's surrender to
Grant, Abraham Lincoln was
assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, an
actor and Confederate sympathizer.
Lincoln had been attending a play at
Ford's theater in Washington, D.C. with
his wife when it happened.
On April 9, 1865, General Lee arrived at
the village of Appomattox Courthouse
in order to surrender to Grant and end
the war. Grant's terms of surrender were
generous; Confederate soldiers were

President Lincoln ran for reelection in
