Robert E. Lee, commander of the army of Northern Virginia, surrendered his beleaguered Confederate forces to Ulysses S. Grant and the Union Army.

I hope this helps :)

Answer:

Robert E. Lee surrendered on behalf of the South at the end of the Civil War.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lee surrendered his Virginia army on April 9, 1865, at the Appomattox Court House. In an unusual gesture that showed Grant's respect for Lee, and in anticipation of the return of the Confederate states to the Union, Lee was allowed to maintain possession of his officer's saber and his horse, Traveller.
