Lee and Grant did not meet at "The Appomattox Court House." The two men met in a town named Appomattox Court House which is the county seat of Appomattox County, Virginia. The meeting was held in the living room of Wilmer Maclean, a resident of Appomattox Court House. The poor guy's house was stripped bare by souvenir seekers in the days following the surrender.

Actually it was acute bronchitis. Lincoln died from the shot in the dark....(jk)....I’ll give JD credit, though, for encouraging reunion in his later years....

In short: Davis was imprisoned for two years, but convicting him of treason would prove problematic since his actions *technically* weren't unconstitutional. Moreover, it wasn't in the Union's interest to make a martyr out of their former enemy, hence why they let him off the hook rather easily. Later in life, he wrote a book on the history of the CSA, which was met by glowing praise from none other than Oscar Wilde. Davis died in relative obscurity in 1889.

The Roach Den President Davis named Lee General-in-Chief of all Confederate forces in February 1865 so yes...yes he was. Communications were severely hampered though so generals like Kirby Smith were unaware of the surrender until much later. I suspect that Johnston was aware as he was only one state away but those further west wouldn’t have known. Hell, the CSS Shenandoah wasn’t aware the war was over until August 1865.

@@ralphdougherty1844 The appointment of a General in Chief had been debated as early as February 27, 1862. President Jefferson Davis voiced his rejection (and veto) of creating this position to the 1st Confederate States Congress on March 14, 1862, believing that such a general could "command an army or armies without the will of the President." Davis performed many of the responsibilities of a general in chief himself throughout the war, acting as both a military operations manager and commander-in-chief. Lee (from March to May 1862) and General Braxton Bragg (from February 1864 to January 1865) also performed related duties, as they were military advisers to Davis, or "charged with the conduct of military operations in the armies of the Confederacy."

Which is how I am distantly related to Jefferson Davis. Sarah Knox Taylor is my 4th cousin 6x removed. My 9th great grandparents through my Taylor line were James Taylor (1635 - 1698) and Frances Walker. My 9th great grandfather would have been Sarah Knox Taylor’s 3rd great grandfather. History and genealogy are some of my favorite things to study. Presidents Taylor, Tyler, Roosevelt, and Madison were all related, and so therefore I am distantly related to all of them. Just like President Obama and I are related by marriage (my 1st cousin 9x removed, Rebecca Catlett, married President Obama’s 1st cousin 11 times removed, Francis Conway). All USA presidents are related in one way or another. Political, military, and religious families are usually connected by blood or marriage for whatever reason.

As the Union Army moved through Mississippi, George Johnson, one of Jefferson Davis' slaves (a slave in the privileged position of bookkeeper for the plantations there), became alarmed. Loyal to his master, Johnson got a "pass" to travel to Virginia to warn Davis and to propose a way of protecting Davis' estates from the Union Army. Johnson persuaded Davis to sign over the deeds to Davis' Mississippi plantations to George Johnson. Johnson returned to Mississippi, and when the Union Army arrived, Johnson was asked, "Who owns these plantations?" "I do. My name is on the deeds." Problem solved! When Davis returned to Mississippi, Johnson restored ownership to Davis. Astonishing. kzread.info/dash/bejne/o4Jh0ptxnLy1nrQ.html

Nitpick: The surrender signed at Appotomatox Courthouse was not a surrender of the whole Confederacy. It was a surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia. Lee had no authority to surrender for the Confederacy as a whole. However, since the Army of Northern Virginia was a large fraction of the Confederacy's remaining troops, the surrender ended up spurring the remaining forces of the Confederacy to surrender in short order.

In the movie Lincoln there is a very nuanced discussion he is having with another person about how essential it was to get the amendments passed before Congress for wind peace was declared and things reverted back to the status quo

Great value Abraham Lincoln

I am an American Civil War historian, and a descendant of several civil war soldiers. Your segment is a concise and generally fair profile of Jefferson Davis. It is important to note that he opposed secession, and was shocked and mortified when he was informed he had been elected President of the Confederacy. He did not seek or want the job, but as a gentleman loyal to his state, he accepted it and did his best. He was severely hindered by the very constitutional structure of the Confederacy which lacked the central power of Lincoln's Union. Davis also lacked the full administrative skill set needed for a war time president. He was blessed with military genius, Lee, Jackson, Longstreet and Stewart, to name a few, but he failed to take full advantage of them. The Confederate army also suffered some unfortunately timed blunders, such as a dropped battle plan discovered by the enemy, accidentally shot generals, and other bungles. Furthermore, Davis and the Confederacy lacked any serious manufacturing capacity, railroads, or a sound central monetary system. Had all things been entirely equal, (resources, manufacturing, railroads, monetary infrastructure, naval power, and emergency government war powers) the Confederacy would have easily prevailed. It had better fighting men, better generals, and the moral urgency to kick the Yankees out of their southern homes. All things were NOT equal, however, and therefore, under the then current and and reasonably anticipated, foreseeable circumstances, the Confederacy was doomed to failure from the first vote for secession. The entire American Civil War could have been gamed out logically and strategically by Confederate military experts, but they didn't exist, and it was overshadowed by self-righteousness and overblown regional pride. Although they were skilled fighters and marksman, southern state militias had no serious, formal military training. Any training of the Confederate soldiers occurred in the field. In essence, the Confederate Army was an ill-equipped massive, armed mob that took the general form of an army. The fact they succeeded as much as they did was a tribute to them as men, their leaders, Lee, Jackson and others, and the incompetence of the Union Army until Lincoln appointed Grant. As noted earlier, the Confederate army was composed of an aggregation of state militias, there was no single Confederate army, unlike the Union which had state units under the single central Federal command of Grant, and Lincoln. If Jefferson Davis had aggressively​ declared Martial Law in the Confederacy and imposed emergency war powers, whether they were in the Confederate Constitution or not, and then used military units from Virginia to enforce them early, then federalized all state units, and acted quickly to invade the north and capture Washington after the victory of Bull Run, the Confederacy would exist today. The will to fight was not present in the North until later in the war, and they would likely have negotiated a quick peace, creating two American nations. Up until the appointment of US Grant as General, the Southern victories were brilliant tactical wins, taking advantage of poor Union strategies. US Grant was the beginning of the end for the South because he and Sherman were strategists, and excellent field tacticians. They were also not afraid to fight and take terrible losses. All that said, what about slavery? Slavery was a dying concept, and would have been rendered useless withing 15 years anyway. So as early as 1865, 1870, or as late as 1880 slavery would have been abolished in the South due to steam power and mechanization. Interestingly, a report in the Times of London reportedly frightened Lincoln, because it suggested British government officials were expressing concerns that their former upstart colonies could not behave themselves, and needed the firm hand of the Crown to stop the carnage and bloodshed. After all, the Crown had some responsibility to intervene like a parent between two squabbling teenagers who were drawing blood in a family fist fight. Lincoln rightfully feared Crown support for the Confederacy, and redoubled his efforts to defeat the South which was actually on the verge of prevailing, against all odds. It worked and it was the turning point of the war. What did Lincoln do? The answer is summed up in one word: Gettysburg.

Jefferson Davis’ daughter Varina Anne’s life is another interesting story. Her life basically was ruined because of her father’s reputation, but from the Southern side. She fell in love with the son of a prominent Abolitionist family, a pretty sad love story and somewhat tragic.

Definitely interesting as it answered why he’s in Hollywood Cemetary where I’ve been this grave. Hubby retired from the Army very shortly before Ft. Monroe was decommissioned.

General Lee did not surrender "The Confederacy" at Appomattox. He surrendered The Army of Northern Virginia... That effectively put any hope of victory out of reach but there were still other Rebel Armies in the field and ships at sea.

What this video doesn't mention: On October 17, 1978, President Jimmy Carter signed Senate Joint Resolution 16, restoring Davis' U.S. citizenship retroactive to the Christmas pardon of 1868. This act Carter referred to as the last act of reconciliation in the Civil War.

It is always ironic. Davis was the one who escorted Black Hawk across the country. But Davis refused to put Black Hawk in chains because he said it was undignified. When Davis was taken there he was not shown the same courtesy. That being said, the union did treat him much better pretty quickly. For the first few weeks he was chained and then one of the union officers heard that and had them removed and then later he was put in a much better room and allowed to write and read books and all that.

Johnson also surrendered the rest of the forces East of the Mississippi which included almost 60,000 more under his command but not with him. General Edmund Kirby Smith surrendered The Army of the Trans-Mississippi (43,000 ) a month later, May 26. That surrender wouldn't have taken place when it did had Davis been able to make his way to Cuba and then on to the Trans-Mississippi Dept. So NO not exactly the "same thing."
