There wasn't a Peace Treaty, because Congress never recognised the Confederacy as a soverign nation. Lee's surrender to Grant was only an armistice. Johnston later surrendered to Sherman on terms that had to be ratified by Congress. Davis formally wound-up the Confederacy in May 1865. Some small Confederate units continued to skirmish after that date, and some officers crossed into Mexico, to avoid having to surrender. Most were eventually pardoned.
