As a footnote to Al's post on the 150th anniversary of Appomattox, two nice pieces were recently posted about Appomattox and Reconstruction in memory and history: The Unlikely Paths of Grant and Lee by Jamelle Bouie over at Slate and The Civil War Isn't Over by historian David Blight writing in The Atlantic. Definitely worth a read.
