I recently found this and thought it worth sharing...
Lesson from the Civil War, General Lee's surrender to General Grant...
The terms of the surrender were recorded in a document completed around 4 p.m., April 9. As Lee left the house and rode away, Grant's men began cheering in celebration, but Grant ordered an immediate stop. "I at once sent word, however, to have it stopped," he said. "The Confederates were now our countrymen, and we did not want to exult over their downfall."
Please remember that what unites us is greater than what divides us!
