This Day In History
American Civil War ends
───── | ─────
The Union won the American Civil War. The war effectively ended in April 1865 when Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered his troops to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House in Virginia. The final surrender of Confederate troops on the western periphery came in Galveston, Texas, on June 2.

In an event that is generally regarded as marking the end of the Civil War, Confederate General Edmund Kirby Smith, commander of Confederate forces west of the Mississippi, signs the surrender terms offered by Union negotiators. With Smith’s surrender, the last Confederate army ceased to exist, bringing a formal end to the bloodiest four years in U.S. history.

This Day In History
May 31, 1921
Beginning on the night of May 31, 1921, thousands of white citizens in Tulsa, Oklahoma descended on the city’s predominantly Black Greenwood District, burning homes and businesses to the ground and killing hundreds of people. Long mischaracterized as a race riot, rather than mass murder, the Tulsa Race Massacre stands as one of the worst incidents of racial violence in the nation’s history.

America’s Most Iconic Structures
1960'S
THE GATEWAY ARCH, ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI
The Gateway Arch, located in St. Louis, Missouri, is a shining example of American engineering. Standing 630 feet tall, this iconic arch is made of stainless steel and is the tallest monument in the Western Hemisphere. It was designed by the architect Eero Saarinen and was completed in 1965. The construction of the Gateway Arch required exceptional engineering skills and knowledge, as workers had to build the arch on the banks of the Mississippi River while dealing with the challenges of working at such a great height. Not only is the Gateway Arch a testament to human ingenuity, but it also serves as a symbol of the spirit of the American West.
