Robert E. Lee, when he had to surrender the Civil War to Ulysses S. Grant, April 9 , 1865.
---
It was from a quote by Robert E. Lee in his final battle leading a Confederate Army. Told that there was no way to fight their way out of Appomattox, he reportedly said, "Then there is nothing left for me to do but to go and see General Grant and I would rather die a thousand deaths."
Shortly thereafter, he wrote to Grant and the two met at a nearby residence, where Lee surrendered his forces. This marked the effective end of the US Civil War.
