Who surrendered on behalf of the South at the end of the Civil War?

Robert E. Lee surrendered the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865. This was the most famous surrender that effectively marked the end of the Civil War. Grant was the Union commander who accepted the surrender, not the Southern leader who surrendered.
