The opposite of 'virtual' would be 'actual'.

Appomattox effectively ended the war because Lee had told the men of the Army of Northern Virginia to hand in their weapons and go home.

After this, there could be no major combat, because if the Army of Tennessee tried anything in Carolina, Grant and Sherman together would overpower them in no time. Johnston knew this, and surrendered to Sherman a few days after Appomattox. Meanwhile small skirmishes did occur West of the Mississippi.

But the war was effectively, or practically, or 'virtually' over.
