The sculpture “Appomattox Court House” by Francis Barnum is a Civil War commemorative piece that focuses on one of the most important moments in American history: the surrender of the Confederate Army under General Robert E. Lee to Union General Ulysses S. Grant on April 9, 1865, which effectively ended the Civil War.

Historical background of Appomattox

The event took place at Appomattox Court House National Historical Park, a small village in Virginia. After years of fighting, Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia was surrounded and cut off from supplies. Realizing further resistance would only cause more casualties, Lee agreed to meet Grant to discuss surrender terms.

The formal surrender meeting happened inside the Wilmer McLean House, not the courthouse itself. During this meeting, Grant offered generous terms that allowed Confederate soldiers to return home with their personal horses and sidearms, helping ease the nation toward reconciliation.
