The events at Appomattox Court House, Virginia in April, 1865 set the stage for the surrender of all Confederate forces, the reunification of the country, and sweeping Constitutional change. Over 100,000 soldiers participated in the campaign leading to the surrender of General Robert E Lee\'s Confederate Army of Norther Virginia. The April 9th Surrender Meeting, between Generals Lee and Grant, marked the beginning of a arduous return to peace for the soldiers of Appomattox and for the war torn country. Lee\'s surrender encompassed only the Army of Northern Virginia, and though other Confederate field armies continued to operate throughout the south, fornext two months, no large battles were fought after the surrender at Appomattox. As part of the terms agreed upon by Generals Lee and Grant, Confederate at Appomattox would be required to surrender their arms, equipment and symbols of war. At a second meeting, on April 10th, the two commanders made arrangements for surrendered Confederate Soldiers to be given proof of their status as paroled prisoners of war. U.S. printing presses were set up and the Confederate soldiers were issued printed parole passes which served as evidence that they had laid down their arms at Appomattox Court House and had the right to return peaceably to their homes. Approxiamately 28,231 men of Lee\'s Army were given their paroles between April 10th and April 12th. For the soldiers these simple slips of paper came to symbolize loyalty, perseverance and sacrifice during an era of the nation\'s history that changed their lives and created a legacy for all generations of Americans to come.
