The McLean family, who had moved from Manassas Junction after two major battles destroyed their farm in northeastern Virginia, started a new life in the quiet western Virginia town of Appomattox Court House. They still could not escape the war. On April 9, 1865 . . .

General Grant and General Lee meet in the McLean’s parlor to arrange the surrender of Lee’s army. Though there were a few last scattered battles in other places, historians consider this surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia the end of the Civil War.

Lee’s hungry men were allowed to return to their homes and farms to face an uncertain future.

After Reconstruction ended in 1877, many whites sought a return to pre-Civil War social structures.
Under the Jim Crow system Freedmen lost many rights, such as suffrage, and they were forced into low-paying jobs, such as tenant farming and sharecropping. In effect they were treated as second-class citizens. . .

This discrimination and segregation continued into the 1950’s and 1960’s. The Civil Rights Movement resumed the quest for freedom and equality begun during Reconstruction.
