Publisher's Synopsis
This historical document, "Paroles of the Army of Northern Virginia," commemorates the surrender of General Robert E. Leeâ(TM)s Confederate forces to Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House, Virginia, on April 9, 1865. A crucial moment in American history, this marked the end of the Civil War and the beginning of the nation's Reconstruction era.
The paroles themselves represent the formal terms of surrender granted to the soldiers of the Army of Northern Virginia, allowing them to return home with dignity and signaling the cessation of hostilities. This record provides invaluable insight into the conclusion of one of the most pivotal conflicts in United States history and stands as a testament to the resilience and resolve of those involved.
