3 0

Answer:

According to the generally accepted opinion, in the “roaring twenties” Americans departed from traditions, yielding to the temptation of new ideals and unlimited tolerance. However, it should be noted that not all society was captured by unorthodox trends. There were also those who were disgusted with the excesses of "modernism" and fear of its dangers. The second decade of the 20th century was marked by both the movement for change and the stubborn resistance to these changes.

Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses Grant at Appomattox Courthouse after President Jefferson Davis announced the Confederate go
BabaBlast [244]

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.
