Appomattox Court House in Virginia was the site of what?

Appomattox Court House in Virginia was the site of General Robert E. Lee's formal surrender of Confederate forces to General Ulysses S. Grant on April 9, 1865. This officially ended the American Civil War and four years of bitter, bloody conflict. Lee's surrender took place after the Confederates' defeat at the Battle of Appomattox Court House. Prior to the battle the Confederate forces were in a desperate state. Lee had already been forced to abandon Richmond, the state capital of Virginia and capital of the Confederate states. His plan was to rally what was left of his forces in Virginia and meet up with Confederate troops in North Carolina to carry on fighting.
The ensuing battle, however, was something of an anticlimax, lasting only a matter of hours. The Union army had effectively surrounded Lee's forces, cutting off their supply routes and making it impossible for them to retreat. Desertions among Confederate soldiers increased rapidly, and morale was at rock-bottom. Heavily outnumbered, and with no means of escape, Lee had no choice but to surrender. Although a number of brief skirmishes continued after Lee's capitulation, his surrender to General Grant at Appomattox Court House effectively brought an end to the war.
