On this day in 1865, Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant.
Lee showed up dressed in his best, looking like a dignified gentleman. Grant was covered in mud after riding all morning.
Before anything was signed, the two men spoke about their shared service in the Mexican War -- a reminder that Confederates and Union soldiers were nonetheless countrymen tied by mystic chords of memory.
Grant did not create terms of surrender to humiliate the South. Grant and Lincoln understood that to unify the nation, you could not imprison half of it. Confederates were allowed to keep their sidearms and personal horses.
When Grant learned that Lee's men were quite literally starving after having not eaten for days, he ordered 25,000 rations sent to them immediately. Lee said this would have "a very happy effect" on his men.
When Lee rode away after signing terms of surrender, Union soldiers cheered. Grant forced them to stop, reminding Union soldiers that Confederates were "now our countrymen" and there would be no cheering over their downfall. (In fact, days later when actual ceremonial surrender occurred, Union Gen. Josh Chamberlain reportedly ordered his men to salute passing Confederates as a sign of respect)
Lee also worked diligently to stop Confederates from waging guerrilla warfare, encouraging them to set their arms aside and return home and in peace. He was a titan in his own right.
If the spirit of 1865 had been driven by the urge to shame and punish, the Union would not have lasted. So many people today misunderstand that and as such, they try to rewrite America history.
God Bless America.

🚨🇺🇸 THE AMERICA PARTY: ELON'S VISION TO DISMANTLE THE ESTABLISHMENT
When 5.6 million people tell you they're politically homeless, perhaps it's time to bulldoze the entire neighborhood.
Elon's proposed "America Party" resonated with 80.4% of respondents who are tired of the establishment duopoly.
Gallup shows 43% of Americans claim independence, rejecting both parties.
Among independents, 56% view Elon favorably.
Even 34% of Democrats see him positively.
Republicans love his budget-cutting (72% approval).
He's uniquely positioned to unite anti-establishment forces from both sides against Washington's permanent political class.
Stephen A. Smith, Nicole Shanahan, and countless others sense the establishment's grip weakening.
History warns third parties fail.
But Elon brings unprecedented resources, platform, and timing.
Technology has democratized politics.
"The America Party", in it's elegant simplicity, could finally give the 80% what they want: destruction of the swamp, not just new management.

📌#Granby | #Colorado
On this day 21 years ago back in 2004, the quiet town of Granby, Colorado was put on the national spotlight when 51-year old Marvin Heemeyer launched a destructive rampage. Over eight months, he secretly fortified a Komatsu D355A bulldozer with steel, concrete, and firearms creating the infamous “Killdozer.” On June 4, he demolished multiple buildings before the machine got stuck, ending the rampage. Heemeyer took his own life inside the cab. Remarkably, no one else was hurt, though damages totaled nearly 7 million dollars
