The American Civil War finally ended due to the superiority of Union resources and strategy. First in the Western Theater, with the capture of Vicksburg and then Atlanta, then in the Eastern Theater, with the capture of Richmond and General Lee's Army of Northern Virginian, the Union "muscle" proved too much for the Confederacy. Another key factor was the naval blockade of Confederate ports, which contributed powerfully to the gradual weakening of Confederate strength.
