The Battle of Appomattox Court House was the last battle of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia led by Robert E. Lee. It was an attempt to breakout of the enclosing Union armies surrounding Lee's army. The attempt failed and Lee decided to meet with the Union commander, Ulysses S Grant to discuss surrender.

Although Lee only surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia, other Confederate forces soon followed suit and the US Civil War came to a close.

This footage was shot at the 150th Anniversary celebration in Appomattox.
