Okay so see the Sandman is okay. He got a nice save. Lets give a hand to the fans who gave a nice cheer when he came in.
On to this Day in History... On this date in 1865 Robert E. Lee surrendered to U.S. Grant at Appomatox Court House.(It is actually the name of a town. Pretty Cool Huh.) Now why is this event so important. With the surrender of Lee the Civil was for all purposes over. After Lee gave up the other Confederate commanders gave up in rather quick order. Only one Stand Watie(a Native America no less)refused to give up. This in some ways is a sad day. Robert E. Lee had finally been defeated and Grant realized this and did not allow his troops to gloat at the defeated rebel army. This was a classy way to end the war. It is unfortunate that less than a week later President Lincoln would be dead and the victory of the Civil War was soon bitter sweet. Until Next time this is the History Report.....
