A while back I made a post stating April 12th was an important day in Confederate history !
I got a comment from a teacher in Illinois !
Image blurred due to his narcissistic preference !
"Yep... April 12 is important, the Day Lee Surrendered "
Yeeeesh ! What a Dunce !
And this Buffoon is a History Teacher !
For the record --
Time Line *
April 9, 1865, 7:50–10:00 a.m. - Confederates under John B. Gordon and Fitzhugh Lee attack Charles Smith's Union brigade in a last-ditch effort to escape the encircling Union army. Hard-marching reinforcements from the Army of the James and the Fifth Corps prevent a breakout, and Confederates send out truce flags.
April 9, 1865, 11:50 a.m. - Union general-in-chief Ulysses S. Grant receives a message from Confederate general Robert E. Lee seeking terms of surrender.
April 9, 1865, 1:30–3:00 p.m. - Confederate general Robert E. Lee meets Ulysses S. Grant at the home of Wilmer McLean in the village of Appomattox Court House. The meeting results in the surrender of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia.
April 10, 1865 - Confederate general Robert E. Lee's General Orders No. 9, his farewell address to the Army of Northern Virginia, praises his troops' "unsurpassed courage and fortitude." He also tells them they had been "compelled to yield to overwhelming numbers and resources." Both arguments become fixtures of the Lost Cause interpretation of the Civil War.
April 10, 1865- Union general-in-chief Ulysses S. Grant departs from Appomattox Court House, where he accepted the surrender of Confederate general Robert E. Lee, for Washington, D.C.
April 11, 1865 - After surrendering the Army of Northern Virginia to Union general-in-chief Ulysses S. Grant two days earlier, Confederate general Robert E. Lee leaves Appomattox Court House to be with his family in Richmond.
April 12, 1865, 5 a.m. - Almost four years to the minute after the first shots were fired on Fort Sumter, Union general Joshua Chamberlain assembles elements of the Fifth Corps along the main street of Appomattox Court House as part of the formal surrender ceremony. The Union men reportedly salute passing Confederates, who salute back

So by April 12th 1865 Lee was in Richmond with his family !
But Haters never let the truth stand in the way of their agenda !
