As Lee had surrendered the only sizeable Confederate army left, the war was effectively over, and Lincoln's wife said she had never seen him looking so relaxed and content.

Joe Johnston's small army was still in action, but would surrender before the end of the month. Other insignificant units were still skirmishing in the West, and the Confederacy would not be officially dissolved until the summer.

But the end of the Civil War is normally taken to be April 9th 1865, just five days before the fatal shots were fired in Washington.
