After the surrender at Appomattox, 28,000 Confederate soldiers faced a long walk home to farms burned, families scattered, and futures uncertain. Many had lost everything—property, health, loved ones. The war was over, but the hard work of rebuilding was just beginning.
These men took their paroles, collected their horses, and started walking. Some walked hundreds of miles. They went home to plant crops, rebuild barns, and stitch communities back together. They didn't have the luxury of despair; families were counting on them.
