Biography is good, too.

Some guy named McClean, lived near Ft. Sumpter. The civil war started in his front yard. He moved to a more peaceful place, Appomattox. The surrender was signed in his house.

Of course, Lee hadn't intended to surrender. He thought Grant was McClean's butler, and handed him his sword, as any gentleman would.
