- Gretchen: At the end of the civil war, grant's union army had lee's confederate soldiers outflanked at appomattox. Lee understood the futility of more bloodshed, so he requested a cease-fire. He wanted to bring an end to the fighting. Soldiers that had been killing each other that morning, walked across the lines that afternoon - for the first time as allies - to trade northern coffee for southern tobacco. Now, I don't expect us to exchange gifts, but that doesn't mean we can't be allies. Of course, you can't have a cease-fire without both parties getting what they want.
