The confederacy army surrendered on April 18, 1865, thereby ending the civil war. Slavery was abolished in Southern states, and the confederacy accepted to be part of the Union. The confederacy would not pursue secession from the Union.

That is true, the Confederacy did eventually surrender, after a long and difficult fight.
The main causes of surrender during the American Civil War are the same reason for surrender in any other war,... one side overwhelms the other.
If you mean what battle ended the war, the traditional ending to the war was the Surrender at Appomattox Court House, April 9, 1865.

The American Civil War was a dispute over the Union and the Confederacy. The war was about the Confederacy (the south) wanting to split off from the Union due to slavery laws in the Union.
Yes. Texas was a part of Confederacy and a Texas regiment was the last group of rebel soldiers to surrender.
World War II, the American Civil War and the French Revolution are examples of "total war". The enemy had to be annihilated, and no "terms of surrender" were allowed; surrender had to be unconditional. The defeated had no say at all in what happened next. During the American Civil War, Sherman's "March to the Sea" cut the Confederacy in half; the city of Atlanta was burned to the ground. In World War II, all of Germany was devastated. In Japan, most Japanese cities were fire-bombed, and two cities were destroyed with nuclear weapons.
The surrender of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia to U.S.Grant's Army of the Potomac (technically General Meade's army), which is taken as the effective ending of the American Civil War.
