The Private Conversation Between Grant and Lee After Appomattox - What We Know They Discussed

The Private Conversation Between Grant and Lee After Appomattox — What We Know They Discussed On April 9, 1865, inside the modest parlor of the McLean House at Appomattox Court House, two men ended the American Civil War. Ulysses S. Grant arrived in a muddy field uniform. Robert E. Lee waited in full dress uniform. But what they discussed wasn’t just surrender terms. Drawing from Grant’s memoirs and historical records, this video explores the private conversation between the Union and Confederate commanders — their memories of the Mexican-American War, their discussion of mercy, rations, horses, and the deeper philosophy that shaped Reconstruction. What happened in that room helped determine whether America would pursue vengeance… or reconciliation.
