Question

You are a reporter covering Lee’s army at the time of his surrender. Write a brief article describing the events surrounding his meeting with Grant.

Answer 1

From the earliest starting point of the war, an objective of the Union armed force was to catch the Confederate capital at Richmond. Petersburg had been the last barrier in Grant's way. Following a nine-month attack, Grant at long last drove Lee's armed force out of that city. Jefferson Davis realized that Richmond was devastated.
