A Resolution recognizing April 9, 2025, as "Appomattox Day" in Pennsylvania, in honor of the historic Confederate surrender in Appomattox, Virginia, which led to full emancipation in the United States and signaled the end of the American Civil War, and urging the designation of "Appomattox Day" as a legal holiday in this Commonwealth.

This resolution recognizes April 9, 2025, as "Appomattox Day" in Pennsylvania to honor the April 9, 1865, Confederate surrender at Appomattox, Virginia, which ended the Civil War and led to emancipation. It cites historical accounts of enslaved people gaining freedom and references Frederick Douglass's writings on the conflict's significance. The resolution urges Pennsylvania to designate Appomattox Day as a legal holiday but does not create the holiday itself.
