The Civil War ended shortly after Richmond fell in April 1865. General Lee surrendered to General Grant at Appomattox Court House and General Johnston surrendered to General Sherman. After Richmond fell, John Wilkes Booth decided to kill President Abraham Lincoln, because he wanted to strike back in the only way he could.
