Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederacy, was not in agreement with surrendering at the time of the Appomattox Court House surrender. It was General Robert E. Lee, the commander of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, who made the decision to surrender his army to Union General Ulysses S. Grant, effectively ending the major hostilities of the American Civil War. Davis was captured about a month later and still hoped for the Confederacy to continue the fight despite Lee's surrender.
