Union Victory (July 1863-1865)

Confederate general Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union lieutenant general Ulysses S. Grant on April 9, 1865, at Appomattox Court House in Virginia. This book covers the key events leading up to the surrender, including Sherman's capture of Atlanta and famous march with his Union troops through Georgia. The election of 1864 proved that Union soldiers and citizens were behind President Lincoln and his twin goals of reunifying the country and freeing the slaves. An assassin's bullet ended Lincoln's life but not the country's relief at the finish of the long war.
