meets General Ulysses S. Grant at the Appomattox Courthouse to formally surrender the Army of Northern Virginia.
LOL. Appomattox Court House is a place in Virginia, not a building.

Sorry, I was making that post while talking to someone. I was a bit distracted and didn’t even think about what I was typing.
And I realize it was not an actual courthouse. It was a private home where the ceremony was held. Ironically the owner of that house just so happen to be the same guy who’s house was smack dab in the middle of the first battle of Bull Run. Following the battle he sold that house and moved to Appomattox Courthouse. So you could say the Civil War both started and ended in this man’s living room.
