Go to April 10 1865

Great Britain. The blockade runner Chameleon (formerly the CSS Tallahassee and CSS Olustee), Lieutenant John Wilkinson, arrived at Liverpool. The closure of Wilmington and Charleston had prevented the delivery of its cargo of provisions to the Confederacy. The cargo was unloaded at Nassau, the ship took on extra coal and set a course for Liverpool with the intention of turning the ship over to Commander James Dunwoody Bulloch CSN. After news of the fall of Richmond reached Britain on 15 April, followed a week later by the news of the army’s surrender at Appomattox, the ship was seized by the British government, and the crew was discharged. The ship was subsequently sold for merchant service under the name Amelia after the US government initiated court action to gain possession of the vessel. The court awarded the ship to the USA and she was finally turned over to the American consul at Liverpool on 26 April 1866.

Alabama. Union Major-General James Harrison Wilson left the ruins of Selma and headed for the state capital at Montgomery.

Alabama. The Union bombardment of Battery Huger and Battery Tracy at Mobile began.

Alabama. Union expedition from Balekely to Claiborne.

Fort Blakeley, Alabama. The capture of Spanish Fort allowed Union Major-General Edward Richard Sprigg Canby to concentrate 16,000 men out of his entire command of 45,000 for an assault on Fort Blakeley. Brigadier-General John Parker Hawkins’ division started the attack at 5.30 pm, along a four-mile front. Hawkins’ Division was on the right flank of the advanced with two brigades of Major-General Christopher Columbus Augur’s division in the centre, and Brigadier-General James Clifford Veatch’s division on the left flank. Brigadier-General Kenner Garrard’s division extended the line further on the extreme left. Another division of XIII Corps and two divisions from XVI Corps supported the flanks and provided a reserve. Within twenty minutes, the attackers’ sheer weight of numbers forced a breach of the Confederate earthworks and the Union troops overwhelmed nine redoubts and the line of rifle pits and palisades that protected the fort. Confederate Brigadier-General St John Richardson Liddell was forced to capitulate. Some Confederates escaped from the fort and reached the shoreline where boats from CSS Nashville rescued about 200 men. Union sharpshooters quickly stopped the enterprise and Liddell was captured on the beach. Brigadier-General Bryan Morel Thomas also surrendered with the fort. The fall of Fort Blakeley forced the rapid evacuation of Battery Tracy and Battery Huger and the remaining defences of Mobile crumbled. With 629 casualties (113 men killed and 516 wounded) the Union forces inflicted 2,000 casualties and captured 3,423 Confederates and 40 guns. (CWSAC Decisive Battle Union Victory)

District of Columbia. US President Abraham Lincoln returned to Washington after his extended visit to Richmond and Petersburg, Virginia. During the evening he received a telegram announcing the surrender of Confederate General Robert Edward Lee at Appomattox Court House, Virginia.

North Carolina. About a mile east of Moccasin Swamp, some Union scouts encountered a Confederate force consisting in part of the 1st South Carolina Cavalry and 6th North Carolina Cavalry. The Union expedition divided, with some men deploying to the right side of the road, and the remainder of the brigade remaining in support. The Confederates were forced to fall back to Moccasin Creek, about a mile away. The Union troops continued their pursuit of the retreating Confederates to the creek and before the entire Union force could reach the creek, the Confederates were in full retreat towards their main camp at Smithfield.

North Carolina. The conglomeration of forces known as the Confederate Army of the South commanded by General Joseph Eggleston Johnston was reorganised at Smithfield and renamed with unjustified optimism for its future operations as the Confederate Army of Tennessee. Johnston attempted desperately to obtain arms, equipment, and rations for his men, but morale was fading rapidly as news of Confederate defeats and surrenders elsewhere reached their camps. Desertions rose but Johnston had nevertheless managed to collect about 28,000 men present for duty by late March, and this number increased to 30,000 men by 7 April 1865. Between April 8 and 10 1865, Johnston consolidated his heterogeneous regiments and brigades into new divisions, grouped for simplicity into three Corps.
Lieutenant-General William Joseph Hardee’s I Corps (Tennessee) had three divisions under Major-General John Calvin Brown (3,556 men), Major-General Robert Frederick Hoke (1,697 men), and Major-General Benjamin Franklin Cheatham. Confederate Lieutenant-General Stephen Dill Lee’s II Corps (Tennessee) had two divisions under Major-General Daniel Harvey Hill (1,493 men), and Major-General Carter Littlepage Stevenson (3,967 men). Confederate Lieutenant-General Alexander Peter Stewart’s III Corps (Tennessee) had three divisions under Major-General William Wing Loring (2,578 men), Major-General Edward Cary Walthall, and Major-General James Patton Anderson. Lieutenant-General Wade Hampton assumed command of the combined cavalry forces of the Army of Tennessee, including the former cavalry corps of Major-General Joseph Wheeler, and the cavalry division of Major-General Matthew Calbraith Butler.

South Carolina. Skirmish at Dingle’s Mill near Sumterville.

Virginia. Incident at Clover Hill.

Virginia. Confederate President Jefferson Finis Davis, representing the remnants of the Confederate Government, vowed to carry on the fight for Southern independence from the new capital at Danville.

Appomattox Court House, Virginia, also known as Clover Hill. The success of the Union cavalry the previous evening in dispersing or capturing the Confederate artillery reserve, and securing the Richmond to Lynchburg Stage Road, was decisive. Union forces now held the high ground west of Appomattox Court House, squarely across Confederate General Robert Edward Lee’s line of march. In fact, Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia was almost entirely surrounded at Appomattox Court House. With his line of retreat blocked, Lee’s only options were to make another desperate attack or surrender. Lee had held a council of war during the night, which determined that an attack should be made to open the road because it was believed that only Union cavalry blocked the way. This was the final desperate attempt to escape the closing Union pincers and to reach the supply depot at Lynchburg.
Lee directed Major-General John Brown Gordon to set up a battle line to the south of Appomattox Court House and Lieutenant-General James Longstreet to defend to the north of the bivouac site. Gordon was expected to capture Appomattox Station and recapture the supplies that had been lost the day before. He would force a gap through the Union lines for the rest of the army to break through to safer ground. Longstreet would provide a rear guard cover for the army, before following Gordon after he had broken through the Union line. At 2 am, 1,600 to 2,000 Confederate infantrymen formed under Gordon on the left flank (they were nominally a corps of three divisions but were now reduced to the size a brigade). About 2,400 cavalrymen formed on the right flank under Major-General Fitzhugh Lee. Longstreet had about 6,000 men in the rear. Meanwhile, the Confederate artillery that was not engaged also attempted to escape towards Lynchburg or northwards towards Oakville.
Union Major-General Philip Henry Sheridan deployed his three divisions of cavalry along a low ridge to the southwest of Appomattox Court House. Union Major-General John Gibbon’s XXIV Corps of the Army of the James marched 30 miles in 21 hours to reinforce the cavalry. Major-General Edward Otho Cresap Ord, commander of the Army of the James, arrived with Gibbon around 4 am, and the V Corps of the Army of the Potomac was not far behind. The XXIV Corps began to reach Appomattox Station just as Gordon’s men were leaving their trenches in a morning mist. As the Union infantry gradually strengthened Sheridan’s cavalry, Gordon attacked the Union troopers who were behind a line of improvised earthworks along Bent Creek Road at dawn. The attack quickly forced back the first line under Colonel Charles Henry Smith and even overran two guns. The next line, held by the cavalry of Brigadier-General Ranald Slidell Mackenzie and Major-General George Crook, slowed the Confederate advance. Directing his men from a knoll at the rear of the formation, Sheridan moved his troops around in a pretence of being in serious trouble, but he was actually strengthening his line while feigning a retreat. The cavalry moved across as if to fortify the centre of the line and then pulled back behind Ord’s dense lines of infantry. Gordon’s troops charged onward and took the ridge and a battery went aggressively into action on the Confederate left, to help by continuously firing while moving forward. As Gordon’s men reached the crest, they saw two infantry divisions of the Union XXIV Corps formed in a line of battle ahead of them. Two more divisions of the Union V Corps were visible further to their right, and the force was estimated to number at least 30,000 men. There were even more Union troops on the way. Fitzhugh Lee’s Confederate cavalry also saw these massed Union forces and withdrew, seeking to ride away towards Lynchburg.
When the third division of XXIV Corps and V Corps arrived, Ord’s troops began their advance against Gordon’s Corps. Custer’s cavalrymen made two or three advances but not very aggressively. At 8 am, the Union II and VI Corps also attacked Longstreet in force to the northeast. Within an hour the Confederates were outflanked completely by the two wings of Union infantry. As darkness was coming on, a final concerted advance was made on all fronts. Lee’s army was surrounded on three sides and trapped. Longstreet was unable to disengage to strengthen Gordon. Gordon reported to Lee that his effort to break out had burned out unless Longstreet could help. When Lee learned that the Union cavalry was now strongly supported by infantry, he realised that the escape attempt was doomed. Many of Lee’s officers, including Longstreet, agreed that surrendering the army was the only option left. The only notable officer opposed to surrendering was Longstreet’s chief of artillery, Brigadier-General Edward Porter Alexander, who advised that the army should disperse to infiltrate away in small groups. Lee argued that such leaderless bands of starving men were likely to become marauding brigands rather than remain soldiers, and would become more of a danger to the population than to the Union army. Lee concluded at 8.30 am that it was time to seek surrender terms.
As the fighting at Appomattox Station subsided, elements of the 15th New York Cavalry, under the direction of Lieutenant-Colonel Augustus Root, leaped over a fence and gained the Lynchburg to Richmond Stage Road and then charged into the village of Appomattox Court House, capturing some wagons and teamsters along the way. They retreated back along the Stage Road, gathering prisoners and shooting mules as they went, before concluding the fighting during the night. Union casualties were reported as 48 men, and perhaps 100 men were killed and wounded and nearly one thousand more were captured on the Confederate side. Custer’s men alone captured 25 or 30 guns. (CWSAC Decisive Battle Union Victory)

Virginia. Gunshots could still be heard on Confederate Major-General John Brown Gordon’s front, and Union skirmishers were still advancing on Confederate Lieutenant-General James Longstreet’s front when Confederate General Robert Edward Lee left his headquarters. Lee followed Union General-in-Chief Lieutenant-General Ulysses Simpson Grant’s instructions and at 10 am he arrived at the front line sector held by Major-General Andrew Atkinson Humphreys’ II Corps. He was dressed in his best dress uniform and was accompanied by three aides, one of them carrying a white flag. Humphreys was unaware of the state of the negotiations but a courier soon arrived with Grant’s latest message. While waiting for Humphreys to obtain clarification, Lee sent word back for Major-General John Brown Gordon to request a local ceasefire pending the outcome of the meeting. At first Union Major-General Philip Henry Sheridan and Major-General George Gordon Meade, on their separate fronts, felt they should press the action. Humphreys’ skirmishers continued to advance to within a hundred yards of Lee who then turned back and waited behind the barricades of Longstreet’s men. At about 11 am, a Union officer arrived from Meade’s headquarters, agreeing to a one-hour truce. At Meade’s suggestion, Lee rode to Gordon’s front and sent a third note to Grant, who could not be found on this eastern flank. Before long, the Union troops complied with the truce and the guns gradually fell silent. Finally, a member of Grant’s staff arrived, Lieutenant-Colonel Orville Babcock, with Grant’s most recent response which he had composed half an hour earlier with his Chief of Staff, Brigadier-General John Alexander Rawlins. Lee sent word for Gordon to extend the truce and then rode on to meet Grant, crossing the headwater creek of the Appomattox at about 1 pm.
Grant received Lee’s letter agreeing to a meeting as he was travelling across the rough country to meet Major-General Philip Henry Sheridan. Grant dispatched an aide ahead to find a suitable location for the occasion in Appomattox Court House, a small village of roughly twenty buildings that served as a way-station for travellers on the Richmond to Lynchburg Stage Road. The appointed place agreed upon with Lee’s aides was the 1848 brick home of Wilmer McLean in Appomattox Court House. Near 1.30 pm, Grant arrived in a mud-spattered uniform, a government-issue flannel shirt with trousers tucked into muddy boots, carrying no side arms, and with only his tarnished shoulder straps showing his rank. He did not have a dress uniform in easy reach and later apologised to Lee for his unsuitable garb.
During the conference between the two Generals-in-Chief of the respective belligerents, Grant repeated the same respectful terms he had offered previously. In addition to these terms, he added that officers were allowed to keep their swords and horses, and baggage. The terms of the surrender were recorded in two hundred words in Grant’s order book and Lee read them. He agreed and asked for two more conditions. He asked permission for his defeated men to take home their horses and mules to carry out the spring planting, and for Grant to supply food rations for his starving army. Grant agreed to these requests and the matter was concluded at around 4 pm. Lee departed, exchanging salutes with Grant, and returned to make his last ride through his army. After leaving the scene, Grant composed a message for the War Department and the President. He also ordered a stop to the cannonade of celebration breaking out from the Union batteries. The surrender was notified to the armies and a plentiful first delivery of 25,000 rations for the Confederate army began to be distributed near sundown. This ended active hostilities by the main Confederate and Union forces in Virginia. Reports listed 27,805 Confederate soldiers who were disbanded, surrendered, and paroled at Appomattox Court House.

Virginia. Confederate Rear Admiral Raphael Semmes and his Naval brigade defending Danville were included in the formal surrender of Confederate forces agreed at Appomattox Court House. Semmes’ remnants of the Confederate Navy numbered 239 men. Semmes was optimistically nominated for but was unconfirmed in the grade of Brigadier-General in the Confederate Army.

Virginia. Union Brigadier-General Thomas Alfred Smyth died near Burkeville, of wounds received two days earlier at Farmville, Smyth was the last Union General Officer to die from combat wounds received during the American Civil War.
