On this day at Appomattox, Virginia - on April 9, 1865 - Robert E. Lee surrenders his 28,000 Confederate troops of the Army of Northern Virginia to Union General Ulysses S. Grant and the Army of the Potomac, effectively ending the American Civil War. Forced to abandon the Confederate capital of Richmond, blocked from joining the surviving Confederate force in North Carolina, and harassed constantly by Union cavalry, Lee had no other option.

An exciting sample of our Historical Recreations work for the series "Legends & Lies: The Civil War" - Action and Dramatic "Style Reel" to showcase the Directing, Historical Costumes, Special Effects and Set Design work provided by the 'LionHeart FilmWorks' and 'Historical Wardrobe' teams for the show.

The scenes showcased here were filmed at the actual location in Appomattox, Virginia - now managed by the National Park Service.

The series "Legends & Lies: The Civil War" was produced for Fox News Channel by Warm Springs Productions and it examines the notable figures and events of the U.S. Civil War. From the birth of the Republican Party to the Confederacy's first convention, the Underground Railroad to the Emancipation Proclamation, the Battle of Gettysburg to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, the series reveals the amazing and often little known stories behind the battle lines of America's bloodiest war and debunks the myths that surround its greatest figures, including Harriet Tubman, Abraham Lincoln, General Robert E. Lee, Frederick Douglass, Stonewall Jackson, John Singleton Mosby, Ulysses S. Grant, Jefferson Davis, John Wilkes Booth, William Tecumseh Sherman, and more.
