On April 9, 1865 the Confederate army fought against the Union army at the battle of Appomattox Court House and eventually surrendured to the Union. Confederate General Robert E. Lee negotiated terms of surrender with Union General Ulysses S. Grant at the "McLean House". Eventually Confederate armies surrendered across the United States until the surrender of the CSS Shenandoah on November 6, 1865, the last of the Confederate forces. On August 20, 1866, President Andrew Johnson signed a "Proclamation-Declaring that Peace, Order, Tranquillity, and Civil Authority Now Exists in and Throughout the Whole of the United States of America" officialy declaring an end to the Civil War.

The surrender of General Robert E. Lee to US general US Grant at Appomattox, for all practical purposes marked the end of the US Civil War. "All Practical" is used because technically, not until May of 1865, did all of the South's forces surrender.
