The correct answer is B) tired and defeated military General.

General Lee surrendered to General Grant at Appomattox, Virginia as a tired and defeated military General.

Confederated Genera Robert E. Lee, leader of the Southern Army surrendered to Union General Ulysses S. Grant on April 9, 1865. General Lee troops had lost the Appottomax Court House battle in just a few hours and General Lee decided that there was no so much else to do. Southern officers were pardoned and allowed to return to their homes. So yes, General Lee surrendered to General Grant at Appomattox, Virginia as a tired and defeated military General.
