Let Us Have Peace
"Let Us Have Peace" by Jean Leon Gerome Ferris depicts the surrender of Lee to Grant at Appomattox.
The high tone of the occasion -- the nobility of Lee in defeat and the magnanimity of Grant in victory -- began the long process
of reconciling Virginians to their former identity as Americans.
