The conventional narrative of the Civil War is that it ended when Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant at the Appomattox Court House, or perhaps a month later when Confederate President Jefferson Davis was captured in Irwinville, Georgia. But the true final action of the American Civil War began in Palmito Ranch near Brownsville, Texas, two days after Davis’s capture nearly 1,000 miles away.
To be fair, the end of the Civil War was confusing and opaque. Although Lee did surrender his massive Army of Northern Virginia to Grant on April 9, 1865, at the Appomattox Court House, there were still hundreds of thousands of rebel soldiers motivated to fight for the Confederate States of America. It took nearly three more weeks for the Union to compel the vast Army of Tennessee commanded by Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston and other rebel forces numbering nearly 100,000 to surrender on April 26, 1865. And even after Confederate President Jefferson Davis was imprisoned

What’s In a Name?
In Cobb County, about 63% of the students are non-white. That diversity isn’t quite reflected on the school board, which has three African American members and four white ones. Now, the board is confronted with social justice issues it hasn’t had to grapple with before.
For example, thousands of community members have petitioned the school district to rename some schools that glorify white supremacists. One is Wheeler High School, named after Confederate General Joseph Wheeler.
“…this is a blatant example of systemic racism.”
“In the very beginning, we thought, ‘Oh, we just have to tell the board that this is a thing, and then they’ll just change it,’” said Caroline Hugh, a senior at Wheeler who is part of a group that wants the name changed. “And then very quickly, we realized that that was not the case.”
More than 160 Confederate symbols came down in 2020, SPLC says By: CNN
By Harmeet Kaur, CNN (CNN) More than 160 Confederate symbols came down last year after the killing of George Floyd prompted a nationwide reckoning with racism.
That count comes from the Southern Poverty Law Center, which released new figures Tuesday as part of an update to a report that tracks public symbols associated with the Confederacy across the nation.
The Alabama-based civil rights advocacy group reported that 168 Confederate symbols were renamed or removed from public spaces in 2020, including one marker in Arizona that was stolen. That number refers not only to statues, flags and monuments but also city seals, official state holidays and names of schools, streets and other public spaces.
