Both sides were certain they would prevail, yet after fi ghting with all his heart and soul, Lee surrendered at Appomattox Court House. What made him do that? Find out how geography, luck, perseverance, and compassionate diplomacy by Lee and Grant combined to change the course of our nation?s history.
