Was there a peace treaty during the civil war?

No peace treaty was ever signed to end the American Civil War. There was an initial peace treaty offered by the North to avoid the war, but the South rejected it. Therefore, the military law imposed during the war by General Orders No.100, The Lieber Code, is still in effect. Article 32 of that order states: "The commander of the army must leave it to the ultimate treaty of peace to settle the permanency of this change." Since there was no ultimate treaty of peace, the order still stands. See: the National Emergency Powers Order Code 98-505 GOV, Updated September 18, 2001, that states: "The discretion available to a Civil War President in his exercise of emergency power has been harnessed, to a considerable extent, in the contemporary period." If anyone believes there was a peace treaty signed for the Civil War, please reference the source.

Did the civil war end in peace?

This is a debatable if not arguable point. Some felt that the secession of armed conflict was not the end of the war but the beginning of the reconstruction that drove a wedge between the north and south states. If the stopping of shooting is peace then YES. If the success of the reconstruction is peace then NO.


When id the Civil War end?

There was no peace treaty, for the same reason there had never been an official declaration of war - because Congress had never recognised the Confederacy as a sovereign nation. The armistice at Appomattox (April 9th 1865) is generally reckoned as the end of the war. Another landmark was the winding-up of the Confederacy at its last cabinet meeting on May 10th 1865. But there was still fighting for a few weeks after that.
