Answer:
Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses Grant at Appomattox Courthouse after Lee recognized the futility of continued fighting.
Explanation:
The Battle of Appomattox Court House was fought on April 9, 1865, between Union Army forces commanded by general Ulysses S. Grant and Confederate forces led by general Robert E. Lee.
Lee abandoned Richmond, Virginia (the Confederate capital) and moved west, hoping to regroup with other remanining Confederate units in North Carolina. However, Union forces pursued the Lee army and engaged it at Appomattox Court House. Lee charged the Union lines but, as he broke their line, he saw that further Union forces vastly outnumbering the Confederate army were advancing to join the battle. <u>Upon realizing the futility of his situation</u>, general Lee famously declared: "There is nothing left for me to do but to go and see General Grant and I would rather die a thousand deaths".
Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant that same day, which eventually led to a domino effect with other Confederate armies surrendering shortly after. The Civil War formally ended on May 9, 1865.

The agriculture in the western hemisphere developed nearly simultaneously as in Asia/eastern hemisphere.
Explanation:
A is not correct because it was almost at the same time where agriculture started developing in both hemispheres, with the evidence suggesting a difference of only a few hundred years.
B is not correct because the western hemisphere would not have been able to produce any great civilizations if agriculture was not well developed and the basis of the economy.
C is correct because independently, at nearly the same time, the people living in both hemispheres started to plant and rise some of the wild plants that they thought have great potential, thus giving birth to agriculture.
D is not correct because the climate conditions in the western hemisphere at that time would not have allowed people to engage in agriculture, especially not in large scale agriculture and to be able to produce enough food for themselves and have a surplus.
