On April 9, 1865, Robert E. Lee faced a decision that required more courage than any battle. His army was surrounded, starving, and outnumbered five to one. He could have ordered guerrilla warfare—years of bloody resistance that would have prolonged the nation's suffering indefinitely. Instead, he chose to surrender with dignity.
'There is nothing left for me to do but to go and see General Grant,' Lee said, 'and I would rather die a thousand deaths.' But he went anyway, because a good leader knows when to change course, when continuing a losing strategy only destroys what you're trying to protect.
