The End, and a Whole New Beginning

This isn't exactly an historically accurate Appomattox Court House scene, but rather, an Old American West set that I recently built for my growing collection of Marx Johnny West action figures and accessories, and since I absolutely love these Timeless Collection GI Joe Wal-Mart exclusive figures from 1998 that pay tribute to Confederate Army General Robert E. Lee and Union General-in-chief (Lieutenant General) Ulysses S. Grant, I decided to set up a photo to commemorate the April 9, 1865 surrender of the Confederacy that effectively ended the American Civil War on this day 155 years ago.
