-- general lee remember general grant? sunsetted no. some say the general lee did recognize them. general grant had this to say our conversation grew so pleasant, that i almost forgot the subject of our meeting. after the conversation ran on for some time, general lee brought my attention to the object of the meeting the purpose of getting me to give the terms to his army. i said sadly, his army should lay down arms and not take them up again during the civil war unless duly and properly exchange. he said he so understood my letter. we then fell off again in conversation to matters for of the subject that brought us together. this continued for some time when general lee again interrupted the course of a conversation by suggesting that the terms that i propose to his army ought to be written out. general lee called for the order book. writing in the order book, he began to write out the terms. his order book was kind of a modern copy machine. he could write out an order and have two copies below it which he could then tear out and give to other commanders if he wished. so that time

what was general lee to do this point? he had no intentions to set, because general grant had rejected it. the battle had gone have the against him. federal forces were closing tightly around him. if you were generally, what would you do? he didn't have to say. he had a third letter and which he proposed to meet general grant on terms previously offered the previous day. this would take him into adjacent federal lines, but was told of course that general grant was an president. an attack had been ordered and couldn't be stopped. he happened to read closely the instructions to ascend to general grant, and they did so. our response came back from general need who was killed. but he responded, indicating that he had received the message and they would send out a courier to try and locate general grant so the actions to be taken. meanwhile, he also allowed for an armistice to take place until 2:00 that afternoon. the village now was in front of generally, and federal surrounded it, but no one occupied the mutual locations betwe

when he came to see general lee, he came directly from the field and did not send back for or try to get additional uniforms, nor did he ask others to accompany him, other than the stuff that was with him. he happened to me general sheridan upon his entry into the village, so they did accompany him. i don't think there was a particular flight of -- slight of general mead. they did work together. i don't think there was any real and 10, except in the mind of other writers who happen to write about that after the war. he also, of course, did not include general humphreys or right in that meeting as well. i think he did intend to bring his staff with him, because he wanted to have, i think observation of what had taken place. these officers could attest to what had taken place. they could be observers. i don't know that answers your question. what happened with mead, he was in there. he was in an ambulance at the time. he was sick. had a miraculous recovery. after the surrender was announced, by 4:00 that afternoon, he was seen riding up and down into the ranks, and actually went over t

that night, general gordon -- general lee orders general gordon to advance. he is going to be supported by the cavalry. and the artillery. and they are going to move out and drive that federal cavalry off the ridge. now, during the night, custer's men are removed from the ridge and a brigade from general george crook's division takes position holding the road. it is on the command of this fellow here, colonel charles smith, formerly of the first main calvary -- maine cavalry. and they are the ones are going to hold the road. the men of the first maine calvary have some spencer carbines that can shoot seven shots. henry's rifles can shoot six shots. but the rest of the brigade, six and her teeth ohio, have shards carbines. -- sharp's carbines. they have two guns of artillery support under this guy lieutenant james. west point image. and what the confederates are going to do, they come to the village i think at about 2:00 in the morning, this is gordon's infantry. and out here is lee's cavalry. they are going to do a left wheel and drive the federal cavalry off

the terms that grant offers to generally -- general lee were inspired by president lincoln who wanted to end the war easily and quickly. the confederate soldiers will be allowed to return to their homes. they have to turn over their military equipment -- that means surrendering rifles and military property like cannons and wagons. government property or military property has to be turned over and then they will be free to go. those terms are accepted and for most people, that is what they think of when they think of appomattox. but that is really just the beginning because now this whole thing has to be put into motion and the surrender is going to take place over the next couple of days.

a lot of you know about general order number nine, lee's farewell address to his soldiers. very elegant. this is general smith's address. "soldiers, i am left a commander without an army, a general without troops. you have made your choice. it is unwise and unpatriotic but it is final. i pray you may not live to regret it. the enemy will occupy your country. you have voluntarily destroyed your own organization." not much she can do because by this point as the news filters -- he can do because by this point as the news filters back to shreveport, a lot of men do not even wait for a parole pass, they just go home. the final surrender will take place in galveston, texas, on board a ship. the uss jackson. and that is going to be on june 2. we are into early june. that is where general smith will sign the paperwork officially surrendering the department of the trans-mississippi. one of the lesser-known surrenders that i think is really fascinating happened in arkansas and i want to talk about this for a minute. on the left is general jeff thompson commanded troops in central ark

lee's attitude after the battle of chancellorsville, he is furious. he's furious that joseph hooker, who's then a union general manages to escape. and, actually, a lot of confederates think that hooker's final position at chancellorsville was a pretty strong position and robert e. lee was planning to order a frontal assault against that position, but hooker withdraws that night. and so in some sense hooker makes the greatest mistake of his life by retreating, and he saves robert e. lee from making a mistake that he's going to make at pickett's charge. yes. >> did lee ever write down what he thought of arming slaves as confederate soldiers in '65? >> he did, he did. he was asked that question directly, and he did say that he thought at this point it was better to begin to enlist african-americans in the fight and he thought you have to have been -- include emancipation as part of that deal, because people would not fight unless they were going to get emancipation. basically, the attitude was it's going to have them fight with us if they're going to be fighting against us. so he does take that view. yes. >> i be

it was only when general lee surrendered that we learned we were free. for some former slaves, the date of lee's surrender structure their varied sense of time and of history. it was a washington told her interviewer the first thing i remember was living with my mother about six miles from scotts crossing in arkansas, about the year 1856. i know it was 1866 because it was the year after the surrender, and we all knew the surrender was in 1855. just as appomattox persisted in the memory of ex slaves, it was also an enduring presence on the commemorative calendar of the freed slaves. they met every april 9 to celebrate this important turning point in the road to emancipation. the april line commemorations again as early as 1866, we see blacks commemorating april 9 1856 pledging that italy had never been beaten, the emancipation proclamation would have been to no avail. in my research i found examples of african american communities, philadelphia chicago, all over the country celebrating april line in their churches and other civic settings well into the 20

lee has this perfect posture, grant is slumped over looking, so you had this major contrast between two great generals, and it's something that people noted then and have noted ever since. yes. >> i believe that robert e. lee graduated second in his accuracy at west -- in his class at west point, and it was at the time they usually went, became engineers. how was he able to get into the infantry? and where did he learn all his -- [inaudible] to be able to be the head of the northern virginia army? >> i'm glad you asked because actually robert e. lee was an engineer. he did graduate second in his class, and he did go into the engineers, and that was considered the most prestigious bran p of the army that you could go into. to go back to what i said at the beginning, that's the reason why he was coming through louisville in 1837. he was on his way to st. louis to perform some work on the mississippi river. it's during the mexican-american war that he really puts his skills to work because engineers play an important role in deciding where armies can go, and lee had what's called then a, quote, peculiar

the granddaddy of all notes is the one that has generally on it -- general lee. he was born in spain. he adorns this thousand dollar bill which is called the grand watermelon note for obvious reasons. for those of you that might be thinking about the value of these notes, this note set a world record in an auction last january. it sold for almost $3.3 million. there is a lot of collector value in the things that i'm showing you today. this was the crammed telegram -- here is our general mansfield on the $500 bill. again something the public really never saw. now we're going to switch to statesman, politicians inventors. there are a lot of secretaries of the treasury that appear on banknotes of this time. this is a listing of all of those folks. some names are very familiar obviously alexander hamilton. you see a lot of him in this building if you take the tour. michael hilla guess -- michael hillegas was the first treasurer of the united states. i will show you portraits of people whose names might not be familiar. that is hillegas. samuel dexter appears on one o

people leaving are not leaving general robert e lee, when asked about the confederado question and the immigration, he wasn't this a firstly against that -- he was vociferously against that. this was symbolized when he assumed the president ship at washington college which later became washington and lee university. he thought it was important particularly for young men to remain in the south and help rebuild the country. he was against this kind of thing. for others, for various reasons the uncertainty of the postwar south, it was something that seemed not only preferable but in some cases necessary. now, i'd like to read just a basic definition of what a confederado is. what essentially this constituted. it's kind of a confusing term. on the one hand you have former southerner,d like to confederate. you've got brazilian colonist. what really is the crux of a confederado? what is their story? this is a working definition that i used based on primary sources when i was doing research for my book.
