As We Near April 9th and Lee's Surrender

A very sad time for me.  I am finding it quite difficult writing about the daily Naval history of the war in my other Civil War Blog, Running the Blockade.

What I am most surprised about is that the Confederacy kept fighting as long as it did.  I would have thought that at least Sherman's March to the Sea and Hood's debacle at Nashville would have convinced Confederate leaders that it was a lost cause, especially after Lincoln's re-election.

Like I said, a very difficult time for me.
