There was no treaty, and the Civil War was the first war that the US won without a treaty being signed. Although Abraham Lincoln had never demanded an unconditional surrender, and although Jefferson Davis had ordered Lee to continue fighting, Lee disobeyed that order and surrendered the Confederacy unconditionally. In return
Grant allowed terms which were very lenient, and it is sometimes supposed that a treaty was singned, but it was in fact an unconditional surrender.

there was never any "treaty" for the American Civil War... merely a "surrender" of Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia to Ulysses S. Grant (sometimes referred to as "the Capitulation between Lee and Grant") at the home of Mr. Wilmer McLean in the town of Appomattox Courthouse, Virginia
Referring to the terms of the surrender and particularly to the additional clauses related to the franchise towards the surrendering ranks and files, Lee said roughly: "This will be a great effect on my Army"
