1- The last two Confederation cities to be taken by the Unionists were Petersburg and Richmond, on April 1865.
Robert Lee didn't want to surrender but after the loss of this two cities the Confederate Army, thinned by desertion and casualties, wasn't able to continue the war.
2- The day after Petersburg fall President Lincoln (who had been visiting Grant) was able to tour the city. He stated to Admiral David Porter: "Thank God I have lived to see this. It seems to me that I have been dreaming a horrid dream for four years, and now the nightmare is gone, I want to see Richmond".
3- Finally on the morning of April 9th Lee and his hungry men found themselves surrounded by five times the number of Union soldiers. Lee had no choice. At a ceremony at Appomattox Court House he surrendered the army of Northern Virginia, thus effectively bringing to an end the most horrible war in American history.
4- After visiting Petersburg, Lincoln was taken to Richmond by Admiral Porter. Once he reached the city it was thronged by Blacks. One old lady is said to have shouted: "I know I am alive for I have seen Father Abraham and felt him."
5- President Abraham Lincoln was a man whose principles were inspiring for the Union's cause. He had the good fortune of seeing the end of the Civil War, as he told Admiral Porter, but he was unjustly murdered a few days later by a follower of the Southern cause. He must be remembered as a great patriot and one of the best presidents in American history.

<u>A more tolerant attitude toward the West, but no relaxation of control in Eastern Europe,</u> resulted from policy changes in the soviet union that occurred under the leadership of Nikita Khrushchev in the 1950s.
The course of Soviet history was dramatically altered by Nikita Khrushchev's policies and initiatives, which led to thawing relations with the West and a loosening of repressive home policies. By adopting a policy of peaceful coexistence toward the West, Khrushchev facilitated the signature of the Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty in 1963. His own diplomacy was sometimes undermined by the fact that he might be quirky and outspoken. To one point in his speech at the United Nations, Nikita Khrushchev banged his shoe the the desk to drive home a point. Such actions hurt Russia's reputation abroad and bolstered Western stereotypes of oafish, peasant behavior on the part of Soviet authorities. Sometimes Khrushchev would make casual comments that would spark worldwide discontent.
