A Stillness at Appomattox

The detailed portrayal made me wonder whether the author aimed to highlight the human moments or the military strategy in those last moments. Was this focus a deliberate decision to show the war's conclusion's emotional weight?

While the depth added richness, I found some sections a bit dense. Was that intentional to emphasize the stillness and reflection of that period?

The way different figures are portrayed adds layers to the story. I wonder what guided his choices in selecting these particular viewpoints.
