What was the date of Robert E. Lee's surrender?

Answer 1

Robert E. Lee surrendered the soldiers of the Army of Northern Virginia on April 9, 1865. He only surrendered this army as he had no authority to surrender any other troops. The surrender took place at the town of Appomattox Court House, Virginia in the home of Wilmer McLean.

Answer 2

April 9th 1865 at Appomattox.

He surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to U.S.Grant. This was only an armistice, not a peace treaty, as Congress did not recognise the Confederacy as a sovereign nation.

Other Confederate units did continue to resist, notably Joe Johnston's army in North Carolina (it surrendered, on rather controversial terms, a fortnight later) and there were small units West of the Mississippi that skirmished for a few weeks beyond that.

But Lee's surrender is taken as the notional end of the Civil War.
