the american civil war came to an end in 1865, when confederate general robert lee met with union general ulysses grant to discuss surrender terms. grant was dressed simply: his clothes were the same as those worn by the lowest soldiers, though on his shoulders were the three gold stars of the union's highest general. lee, on the other hand, was dressed in his finest clothing. he wore a beautiful grey coat with a red sash tied around it. at his side, he carried an ivory and silver sword.
