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.

Gunpowder was developed in China at some point during the main thousand years AD. The most punctual conceivable reference to gunpowder showed up in 142 AD during the Eastern Han administration when the chemist Wei Boyang, otherwise called the "father of speculative chemistry", expounded on a substance with black powder like properties.
