For all practical purposes the US Civil War ended when General Robert E. Lee surrendered his army to General US Grant at the Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865. Other Confederate troops soon after also surrendered. The last Confederate ship lowered its flag near Liverpool, England late in 1865.

This has been a point of contention for years, but for all intents and purposes the US Civil War ended April 9, 1865. That is the date most commonly referred to as the end and was the day Robert E. Lee surrendered his army to that of Ulysses Grant at Appomattox Court House, Virginia.

The last Confederate army of any size was that of Edmund Kirby Smith in the Trans Mississippi Department, and he surrendered it at Baton Rouge, Louisiana on May 26, 1865.

For all practical purposes the US Civil War ended when the Confederate general in chief, General Robert E. Lee surrendered to his counterpart for the Union, General US Grant on April 9, 1865. This ceremony was held at the Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia. Yes it took time for other Confederate armies to surrender as word spread that Lee had surrendered. As an aside, the last Confederate flag was lowered on a Confederate ship docked in England in December of 1865. It seems almost to the day that the war began and ended in early April, 1861 and 1865. The healing would take decades.

April 9, 1865 is generally considered to be when the Civil War ended, despite the fact that some battles continued. It was on that date that Robert E. Lee surrendered.

Abraham Lincoln didn't end the civil war- he was assassinated before the war ended. Andrew Johnson took over after his death. The last Confederate general surrendered in June of 1865.
