Concluding Paragraph

On page 80, it said, “It was an event Grant would have loved: 60,000 Americans, Northern and Southern, black and white, all moving along, to the same beat, together.” That showed that he, and Robert E. Lee, stopped fighting, and achieved peace. That is explained on page 45 and 46, “Southern defeat was so certain, Grant explained, that it was pointless for any more men to die. Eventually Lee came to realize Grant was right.” That was the part that showed Grant and Lee both surrendering, and ending the war.
