He was asassinated just after the surrender of Lee at Appomattox, which is taken as the effective end of hostilities.

Some other Confederate units did not surrender till after Lincoln's death, and the Confederate States cabinet continued to meet for a few more weeks.

There was no official peace treaty, for the simple reason that Lincoln had never declared war in the first place - this would have meant recognising the Confederacy as a sovereign nation. He had merely called for volunteer troops to put down a rebellion of certain states.
