Listen "A Stillness at Appomattox"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Dave Does History, we journey back to April 9, 1865 — the day the guns finally fell silent at Appomattox Court House. It wasn’t just the end of a war; it was the beginning of reconciliation. We’ll walk the weary roads with Lee’s starving army, sit inside the McLean House where Grant offered mercy, and witness the quiet dignity that defined one of America’s most powerful moments. This is the story of how a nation tore itself apart—and how, in a single afternoon, it began the long road toward healing. Available now on Spotify, iHeart Radio, and iTunes.
