A statue of the two leaders, commemorating the historic event which was a pivotal point in this country's history. Grant accepting Lee's surrender actually happened. But...nooooo..the rubes that still want to glorify the Confederacy would never accept...uh...history. Even though they justify confederate statues as history and not racism or glorification of treason.
I know there are depictions out there, not sure about statues.
