A rapid counterattack reversed the victory however and on the night of April 2nd the Confederate army finally evacuated Richmond. For most of the next week the Union army pursued the Confederates along the Appomattox River exhausting any chance of escape. Grant accepted Lees surrender at Appomattox Court House on April 9th.
