There was no formal surrender of the South to the North. General Robert E. Lee surrendered his army on April 9, 1865, at Appomattox, Virginia. General Joseph E. Johnson surrendered the armies east of the Mississippi on April 26, 1865 in Raleigh, North Carolina. The Confederate Government dissolved itself on May 2, 1865. The order went out from a Union General in Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865, for all Confederate flags to be removed and the Emancipation Proclamation to be read from every courthouse in Texas. That day is called Juneteen. Take your pick.
It attacked Fort Sumter in South Carolina.

When Fort Sumter was attacked in the Charleston harbor, Lincoln called for volunteers to put down the rebellion. The attack galvanized the Northern States to support Lincoln in his attempt to keep the Federal Union in tact. Soon after he began to plan for what most people thought would be a short war.
The first shots of the war were fired by Confederate artillery on the waterfront of Charleston Harbour (The Battery) at the Union garrison on the island of Fort Sumter. The ending of the war is usually marked by the surrender to U.S. Grant of the Army of Northern Virginia by Robert E. Lee at Appomattox Court House. That was the name of a tiny hamlet West of Petersburg, and the historic meeting between Grant and Lee was held in a converted tavern called the McLean House.

The British general O'Hara, on behalf of General Cornwallis who claimed to be sick, surrendered Cornwallis's sword at Yorktown. The terms of surrender had been agreed upon earlier that morning. General Rochambeau was the intended receiver, but refused the sword, gesturing instead that O'Hara should give it to General Washington. General Washington then called forth his second in command, General Benjamin Lincoln to accept the sword. Benjamin Lincoln was the commanding general at the Battle of Charleston, where he had been forced to surrender to Cornwallis with humiliating terms of surrender. General Benjamin Lincoln did accept the sword from General Charles O'Hara, officially declaring surrender for the British.
Although the specific reason for Fort Sumter of Charleston, South Carolina, being named after the American Revolution General, who also served as a U.S. Senator and Congressman, is probably lost to history, those are certainly enough qualifications to merit having any edifice being given one's name.
