GORDON WILL LEAD CONFEDERATE SURRENDER APRIL TWELFTH IN EIGHTEEN SIXTY-FIVE Following the signature given by Robert E. Lee, a formal surrender ceremony was all that was necessary to close the War for Southern Independence. Neither of these two main characters would attend, but they had a representa- tive present to participate in the formalities. General Joshua Chamberlain is accorded the honor of ac- cepting the arms and flags of the Confederate States Army at Appomattox. His soldiers would line the road leading to the McLean home and are truly inspired by the significance it held for the country. Chamberlain's men would come to "order arms" and stay in that position until all the Confederates had stacked all their arms. Confederate General Gordon would call for the same order, "honor answering honor." For all practicl puposes the struggle for southern independence is all over.
