The Union is thought to have won the US Civil War / War of Northern Aggression, but really there was no true winner. The Union had lost considerably more troops, and the economy of the South had been destroyed. There was not a big call for slavery by that time. Freed slaves decided to stay on to work for pay or for housing and food and amenities that were offered on the former plantations; most became sharecroppers.
Robert E. Lee, who inherited the command of the Southern armies, decided to end the war because there was an enormous loss of property, life, buildings and housing for not only Southern civilians, but Northern as well. Many lost everything they had and had to start over, if they hadn't already starved to death.
Lee's surrender at Appomattox on April 9, 1865 led to the eventual end of fighting and the beginning of Reconstruction. Abraham Lincoln's assassination meant that the Radicals in Congress controlled the process, with occupation and military governments in the South until 1877.
