The Postal Service has concluded its commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War war by issuing two new stamps.
"One stamp depicts the Battle of Five Forks, near Petersburg, Virginia, on April 1, 1865," the USPS website reads. "The other stamp depicts Robert E. Lee’s surrender to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House on April 9."
The stamps were issued in a pane of 12.
