the end of the civil war was marked by ______ .
grants surrender to lee at chancellorsville
shermans surrender to johnson at durham
the battle of bentonville
lees surrender to grant at appomattox court house
question 80 - multiple choice

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• "Grant's surrender to Lee at Chancellorsville" is incorrect because Grant was a Union general and Lee a Confederate general; Grant did not surrender to Lee, and the Battle of Chancellorsville was a Confederate victory during the war, not its end.
• "Sherman's surrender to Johnson at Durham" is incorrect as Sherman was a Union general and Johnson a Confederate general, and Sherman did not surrender to Johnson.
• "the Battle of Bentonville" was a significant battle near the end of the war but not the event marking its end.
• "Lee's surrender to Grant at Appomattox Court House" is correct. Robert E. Lee, the Confederate general, surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant, the Union general, at Appomattox Court House in 1865, which effectively marked the end of the American Civil War.

Answer:

D. Lee's surrender to Grant at Appomattox Court House (assuming the last option is labeled D; if the options are labeled differently, adjust the identifier accordingly, but the text is "Lee's surrender to Grant at Appomattox Court House")
