What event took place on April 9 1865?
Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered his Confederate army to Gen. U.S. Grant at Appomattox Court House, VA. While this event is commonly thought to have ended the U.S. Civil War, it did not, because other hostile armies remained in the field, including two large ones about 120 miles away. On April 18 Gen. Joseph Johnston surrendered his Confederate army to Gen. William T. Sherman at Benton Place, NC. Although other hostile forces remained, this effectively ended the war. In between these two surrenders, on April 14, President Lincoln was assassinated in Washington. See also http://billyjustice.wordpress.com/2008/09/28/lilacs/
What event is considered to be the end of the civil war?
The surrender of Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox on April 9th 1865. This was the biggest of the Confederate armies in the field, and its surrender is taken as the notional end of the war, although some smaller units were still in action for a few more weeks. There was never a peace treaty, because there had never been a declaration of war in the first place - Lincoln refused to recognise the Confederacy as a sovereign nation.
