On April 1, 1865, Major General Philip Sheridan's cavalry overflowed Lee's flank at the Battle of Five Forks. The next day, Grant's army made a decisive breakthrough marking the end of the siege of Petersburg. Lee left Petersburg and Richmond and went west towards Appomattox Station, where a train loaded with provisions awaited him. From there, he hoped to move south to join General Joseph E. Johnston's army in North Carolina. On April 8, 1865, Union cavalry commanded by Brigadier-General George Armstrong Custer captured and burned three supply trains awaiting Lee's army at the Battle of Appomattox Station. From then on, the Potomac Army and the James Army converged on Appomattox. The signing of the surrender documents occurred in the living room of the house owned by Wilmer McLean on the afternoon of April 9th. On April 12, 1865, a formal ceremony marked the dismemberment of the Northern Virginia Army and the parole of its leaders and men, effectively ending the American Civil War.

Compare Enlightenment thinkers John Locke and Thomas Jefferson, which statement is accurate:
dalvyx [7]
John Locke and Thomas Jefferson had very similar ideas as to what rights citizens should have in a society. This is why Jefferson used his ideas in the US Declaration of Independence (Letter B).

Before the US Declaration of Independence was written, John Locke wrote about the concept of "natural rights." Locke argued that all people had these rights naturally and there was no government permission necessary for people to have these rights. Locke stated that these rights include "life, liberty, and property."

In the US Declaration of Independence, Jefferson pens almost the exact same words. Instead, Jefferson uses the famous quote of "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness." However, this quote shows how he was inspired by Locke's concept of natural rights and thought it was a necessary part of American society at the time.
