Technically it didn't, and there are Southerners who claim it is still going on. Many Confederate officers fled to Mexico and never surrendered.
There was no peace treaty, because there had never been an official declaration of war (Congress did not recognise the Confederacy as a sovereign nation.)
The commonly accepted date of the ending of hostilities was April 9th 1865, when Lee surrendered his Army of Northern Virginia to U.S. Grant, General-in-Chief of the Union armies at Appomattox Court House, near Richmond, Virginia.
The only other sizeable Confederate army in the field surrendered to Sherman later in the same month, but other skirmishes West of the Mississippi went on well beyond that date.
The final cabinet meeting and winding-up of the Confederacy in mid-May might be taken as the decisive moment when there was no enemy left to oppose.
