Lee determined to make one last attempt to escape the closing Unions grasp and reach his supplies at Lynchburg. At dawn the Confederates advanced, initially gaining ground against Sheridan’s cavalry. The arrival of Union infantry however, stopped the advance in its tracks. Lee’s army was now surrounded on three sides. Lee surrendered to Grant on April 9.

How did the civil war effect Americas future ?
I think that its good that the union won because of the way that slaves were treated and the way that they were enslaved against there will. I think that it was in the best interest for everyone that the union won because slavery would still be here if the union would have lost and things would have only gotten worse for slaves.

9, 1865 The final ending of
the civil war was on April 9, 1865 in Appomattox county

the significance of it was to end the civil war and to end slavery.
