April 10, 1865 at Appomattox Court, Va, General Robert E. Lee issues his last orders to the Army of Northern Virginia.
“The gentleman does not needlessly and unnecessarily remind an offender of a wrong he may have committed against him. He can not only forgive; he can forget; and he strives for that nobleness of self and mildness of character which imparts sufficient strength to let the past be but the past” – Robert E Lee
