In this room on April 9th 1865, General Lee surrendered to General Grant.
Well...not exactly. The orginal McLean farm house was pretty much gone by the end of the 19th century. The National Park Service painstakingly reconstructed the building and made things as close to what they were at the end of the Civil War.
The desk on the far left was used by Lee, and the desk in the center was used by Grant.

悪魔に魂 売りましょか
黒い炎が チロチロ燃えて ほんとの 自分を 見つけたの
Surrender my soul to the devil
The black fire burning crisply
I have finally seen my true self
Perhaps I'm too weird or too dark or too otaku.... "Ooo! Look, the Oni King is sitting on National Diet Building* in East Osaka?"
But I loved the Higashiōsaka sim. To me this vision of hell is one of the most beautifully executed sims in the entirety of the grid. My friends all seemed to dislike it, though.

Washington had marched all the way here from New York, scrapping his plans to attack that city BEFORE he learned that the French had defeated the British Navy here. His chance paid off, and bad weather prevented Cornwallis from escaping across the river. With additional British troops an unknown distance away, Cornwallis had no choice but to surrender. The troops came to this field and threw down their arms desultorily.
It took two more years to officially end the war, but after Yorktown, it was pretty much over.
the past is sweet and sour,
orange and gray.
lollipops and fear,
salted with pain.
my dreams are full of sorrow,
lust and fantasy,
broken hopes and sweet tomorrows,
everything that just can't be.
reality is flawless,
chaotic and free.
tempted by illusion,
i'm forced to open up and see.
here and now holds a promise,
of change and brand new days.
tears don't mean only sorrow,
and i will find my way.

Lee's Surrender overshot blanket, ready to weave. This felt good!
I assume that this weaving pattern came from sometime around the Civil War, given the name. I can't wait to actually have it finished!
"Unconditional Surrender", a 25-foot statue created by renowned artist J. Seward Johnson, was temporarily taken down from its location along the bayfront in Sarasota, FL so that it can undergo maintenance in New Jersey. Crews had a tough time dismantling it. They used a blow torch, wrenches, and a sledge hammer but the bolts wouldn't budge.
Just 400 yards north of the "South of the Border" tourist stop off I-95 at the North Carolina / South Carolina border, an abandoned homestead gives the appearance a dustbowl movie set
Well I can't promise I won't fall
And I can't say I'm never scared
I can't promise much at all
But when you call me I'll be there
A ceremony was held April 11, 2015, in the Bataan Memorial Park in Albuquerque, N.M. In addition to the New Mexico National Guard's 44th Army Band, leadership of New Mexico National Guard, and scores of citizens, a few of the remaining World War II veterans participated in the ceremony. Also in attendance was the Philippine Consul General, Leo M. Herrera-Lim. Ernest Montoya, who served with the New Mexico National Guard 515th Coast Artillery and William Overmier, who served in the New Mexico National Guard 200th Coast Artillery, raised and lowered the white flag of surrender then the POW flag. Herrera-Lim said in his remarks, "I'm humbled to be part of this ceremony because for us,as [general] Fox so eloquently put, we are one. We stood not in representation of our countries alone, but in representation of our freedom."
The New Mexico National Guard provided a full ensemble of musicians, a color guard and soldiers who performed a 21 gun salute. (Released, U.S. Army photo by Sgt. 1st Class Anna Doo, New Mexico National Guard Public Affairs Office)
