For today's history lesson, a "today in history" post:
On this day back in 1865, General Lee surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant following the Battle of Appomattox following 4 years of battles. At the time, surrendering was an official act, where both Generals met and spoke, typically in a designated meeting place. Seeking a parlor, they found the home of one Wilmer McLean, and requested the use of his home. He begrudgingly agreed and hosted Grant and Lee in his home as they exchanged words.
In an incredible and unusual turn of events, Wilmer McClean, a grocer, had moved away from Manassas, Virginia and to Appomattox, Virginia during the Civil War to escape the battles because (no joke): the very first battle of the Civil War occurred on his front lawn.
Following the completion of the surrender documents being signed, those present to witness the event began taking any and all belongings of Wilmer McLean's out the front door as their own personal souvenirs, offering some money to him as they walked out his front door.
Abraham Lincoln, president at the time, lived to hear of the war ending, but was famously assassinated within a day or two of the news reaching him.
Pretty wild.
