- Explore some of the sites that are home to the last battles of the American Civil War. Our journey begins on April 8th, 1865 when the Union attempt to capture Confederate supply trains at Appomattox Station. Then we explore the grounds of the final battle of the Civil War for the Army of Northern Virginia. Confederate forces would attempt to break through the Union lines to try and reach reinforcements to the west. These actions would result in losses for the Confederates and would force General Lee to surrender to General Grant.

Many thanks for this well presented visual of those final days. Much appreciated and so worthy of never forgetting.
Very good, with great visuals as well as context about the final day,
My wife and I have stopped by that little cemetery several times over the years. There is, or at least was a picnic area near there. I too have noticed that one man's grave and remember commenting on him having fought through the entire war, only to die in the final charge. Thanks for the video. Very well done.
New to your channel and going through and watching all the great content. What I liked and found really interesting is the story of the Alabamian soldier who fought the entire war only to die hours before it ended and just a few yards from where it ended. These individual stories really help bring home the personal aspect and impacts of the war. Keep up the good work!!!
Please allow a correction. You kept saying "Calvary" which is where Christ was crucified. It's "Cavalry" the placement of the L is different. I realized that I once did the same thing!
That was very informative. We hear about the surrender but not much on the last gasps of resistance
