Robert E. Lee surrenders

In Appomattox Court House, Virginia, Robert E. Lee surrenders his 28,000 Confederate troops to Union General Ulysses S. Grant, effectively ending the American Civil War. Forced to abandon the Confederate capital of Richmond, blocked from joining the surviving Confederate force in North Carolina, and harassed constantly by Union cavalry, Lee had no other option.

In retreating from the Union army’s Appomattox Campaign, the Army of Northern Virginia had stumbled through the Virginia countryside stripped of food and supplies. At one point, Union cavalry forces under General Philip Sheridan had actually outrun Lee’s army, blocking their retreat and taking 6,000 prisoners at Sayler’s Creek. Desertions were mounting daily, and by April 8 the Confederates were surrounded with no possibility of escape. On April 9, Lee sent a message to Grant announcing his willingness to surrender. The two generals met in the parlor of the Wilmer McLean home at one o’clock in the afternoon.

They should have been stripped of all property & forced to work for their Union Overloads. They shouldn't have been allowed to return to their property & build Confederate Statues.
 
The Confederacy was one of the most inhuman and despicable governments ever formed.
40 percent of its population was in bondage while the rest of the population prospered off their labor.

Let me ask you a question:

Do you ever complain about the injustice of abortion?

If not, you have no right to complain about an injustice that happened more than 100 years ago.

If you don't care about abortion today you wouldn't have cared about slavery when it was happening.

<sob> But....but...
What about ABORTION?

The Confederacy did not surrender April 9, 1865.

Lee's surrender effectively ended the Army of Northern Virginia's participation but Generals Mosby and Johnson still remained with their armies

If you think abortion is OK today you would have owned slaves when it was legal.

It did effectively. Lost troops in the Wilderness don't really count. I'm okay with conventional dates for history.
