ADVANCE FOR WEEKEND EDITIONS MARCH 24-25 - In this March 17, 2012 photo, The Museum of the Confederacy, right, is surrounded by VCU buldings in Richmond, Va. An enduring myth has it that Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee offered his sword to his Union counterpart, Ulysses S. Grant, in surrendering at Appomattox _ and that Grant refused the gesture. The sword is very real, unlike that tale of how the Civil War ended, and it's the centerpiece of a new museum examining the struggle to heal a divided nation.
