You are so right the National Park Service saved this artifact. It was an awesome place to visit. Thank you for all the support.

Of course. Scott tries to do that everytime. Thank you for all your support.

Thank you for watching.

Such a great spot! So happy we finally made it out there...as you know, it's a must do. 😊

@@WalkwithHistory no doubt. They’ve done a great job preserving that area.

I saw it as we drove by. We did not have the time this trip but we will put it on the list. Thank you for the support. We truly appreciate it.

I’m from the nearby Lynchburg area. I have visited Appomattox many times and still feel in awe being in the place where our nation reunited.

YES

Thank you!! 😁

@@WalkwithHistory your very welcome Maam this video you shared about the surrender of General Lee to General Grant was very informational. I love History and I am looking sometime next year to take a trip to Dearborn Mi where Henry Ford Museum ist, there is so much history there at the museum and the greenfield village next to the museum I would suggest that you @walk with history go there and do few videos there

@@ChristinaCalhoun That's a great idea! We'll add that to our ever-growing list. We love to hear that our community also gets out there to see and experience history. 😁

Thank you for explaining it. It is confusing for someone who does not realize the town is named after the courthouse (county seat).

What a cool tie to history! Thank you for sharing and thanks for watching 😊

@@WalkwithHistory my aunt looked up alot of are family history. She actually made a think book as a Christmas present for all of the family. It was very interesting learning about where my family come from. Everyone should do it.

Thank you, we will check them out.

Yes, there were other parts of the armies that surrendered later since communications couldn't be instantaneous like today...but it's always neat to visit the official location where the civil war ended. 😊

Just like a North Carolinian again trying to take from Virginia that which isn’t theirs.

There are other turning points and moments that took the wind out the sails of the South but this is the location of official surrender. Thank you for the information though. I will check it out.

Give us back the water Virginia is siphoning out of NC lakes because you bribed some weak-kneed politicians for a long-term deal. No-bod-eeeeeee in historical circles or academia has heard of the VA surrender theory. It's more fodder for your roadside signs. Virginia is for Liars.

A lot of places lay claim to the location of the end of the Civil War, but I agree Appomattox was not where the war ended officially. The Battle of Fort Blakely near Mobile, Alabama was raging when Grant and Lee were signing papers. It wasn't a small skirmish, there were 20K in the fight, resulting in 3500+ casualties. Yes, Bennett Place and the surrender on 26 April, of 90K Confederate troops was the largest surrender of the war. However, people where I live like to count the surrender of 9K troops at Citronelle, Alabama on 6 May as the end of the war.. Some say the war ended in Liverpool, England. The Confederate ship Shenandoah was under orders to destroy the union whaling fleet, and continued north through the Pacific Ocean, into the Sea of Okhotsk, and settled in the Bering Sea in mid-June. Wadell was under orders to destroy the whaling fleets of New England, and the Shenandoah now focused on Yankee whalers. Because the ship's crew were still unaware that the war had ended, the Shenandoah went to work disrupting Union vessels in the Bering Sea and Arctic Ocean. By August of 1865, the Shenandoah had captured or destroyed 38 ships, including whalers and merchant vessels. Waddell set sail for England after learning from a British ship that the war was over. The last Confederate surrender occurred on November 6, 1865, when the Shenandoah arrived in Liverpool. The only Confederate vessel to circumnavigate the globe was surrendered by letter to the British prime minister, Lord John Russell. But the actual end of the war was on August 20, 1866 in Washington DC, where President Johnson issued a proclamation announcing the end of the American Civil War: "And I do further proclaim that the said insurrection is at an end and that peace, order, tranquility, and civil authority now exists in and throughout the whole of the United States of America."

Thanks for watching 😊
