The Appomattox Campaign was a series of battles fought March 29 – April 9, 1865, in Virginia that culminated in the surrender of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia and the effective end of the American Civil War. At the conclusion of the Richmond–Petersburg Campaign (also known as the Siege of Petersburg), Lee's army was outnumbered and exhausted from a winter of trench warfare over a 30 mi (48 km) front, numerous battles, disease, and desertion.

  • Der Appomattox-Feldzug (29. März - 9. April 1865) war eine Serie von Kämpfen während des Amerikanischen Bürgerkrieges, an deren Ende die Kapitulation der Nord-Virginia-Armee, der wichtigsten Armee der Konföderierten Staaten von Amerika, stand. Diese Kapitulation wird gemeinhin als das Ende des Bürgerkrieges angesehen, obwohl die letzte konföderierte Armee ihren Kampf erst Mitte Juni aufgab.

At the conclusion of the Richmond–Petersburg Campaign (also known as the Siege of Petersburg), Lee's army was outnumbered and exhausted from a winter of trench warfare over a 30 mi (48 km) front, numerous battles, disease, and desertion. At the Battle of Five Forks on April 1, Union forces under Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant cut the final railroad line supplying Lee's army in Petersburg, and ordered a general assault along the Petersburg fortification line. On April 2, Grant's army achieved a breakthrough of the lines in the Third Battle of Petersburg, which prompted Lee to order the evacuation of both Petersburg and the Confederate capital of Richmond on the night of April 2–3. Lee hoped to withdraw to the southwest and unite his army with Confederate forces in North Carolina, but Grant's army pursued relentlessly. On April 6, Lee's army suffered a significant defeat at the Battle of Sayler's Creek, but continued to move to the west in an attempt to elude the Union Army. Cornered, outnumbered, and short of supplies, Lee finally agreed to surrender his army on April 9 at Appomattox Court House.
  • La Campagna di Appomattox include una serie di battaglie combattute in Virginia, che culminarono con la resa dell'Armata Confederata della Virginia Settentrionale, comandata dal generale Robert E. Lee, e con l'effettiva fine della Guerra civile americana. La conclusione della Campagna di Richmond-Petersburg, aveva lasciato l'esercito di Lee in inferiorità numerica, stremato da un inverno di guerra di trincea su 30 miglia, numerose sconfitte, malattie, diserzioni. Con la battaglia di Five Forks il 1º aprile le forze del Gen. Ulysses S. Grant tagliarono definitivamente la linea ferroviaria che garantiva gli approvvigionamenti all'esercito di Lee a Petersburg. Grant ordinò un assalto generale lungo la linea di fortificazione della città. Il 2 aprile, i Federali conseguirono un passo avanti decisivo nella terza battaglia di Petersburg, che spinse Lee ad ordinare l'evacuazione di Petersburg e della capitale confederata Richmond nella notte del 2-3 aprile. L'ultima speranza di Lee risiedeva nell'unire il suo esercito con le forze confederate nella Carolina del Nord, ma l'esercito di Grant lo inseguì senza tregua. Il 6 aprile, Lee subì una sconfitta significativa nella battaglia di Sayler's Creek, ma continuò a ritirarsi verso ovest, nel tentativo di eludere l'esercito dell'Unione. Con le spalle al muro, in inferiorità numerica ed a corto di rifornimenti, Lee capitolò con la resa di Appomattox Court House, il 9 aprile.
