Best Answer

The traditional beginning to the Civil War was 4:30 AM on April 12, 1861, when Confederate artillery fired on Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina. The traditional ending to the war was April 9, 1865, when Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered his Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox Courthouse, Virginia. Some Confederates in the West did not surrender until June, and the C.S.S. Shenandoah did not surrender to British authorities until November. The last official Confederates to surrender was in June of 1866, when three Confederates stationed in Virginia's Great Dismal Swamp surrendered to Federal authorities in Suffolk, Virginia; they had not emerged from the Swamp to hear that their army had surrendered more than a year before, and had tenaciously stuck to their post.
