The main Confederate Army did not surrender on April 9, 1865! Lee's army surrendered on April 9, 1865. He had 35,000 men with him. On April 26, 1865 General Joseph E. Johnson surrendered his army of 75,000 men and all Confederate armies east of the Mississippi River. The General in charge of all Confederate troops west of the Mississippi, General E. Kirby Smith, said "Hell no, I will not surrender!" And he walked away from his army. Most of his army simply walked home. A number of them said, "Lee surrendered, I didn't."
Plans to assassinate both Lincoln and Jefferson Davis, The President of the Confederacy), date from 1862. Why it took until after Lee's surrender seems confusing. John Wilkes Booth was a part of the group that wanted to assassinate Lincoln. Although the group had been established for years, it only happened after Lee's surrender.
Jefferson Davis escaped just before the fall of Richmond, Virginia. He was captured by Union forces outside of Fitzgerald, Georgia. He avoided assassination. He served a prison sentence and lost his property.

Which of the three reconstruction plans that were originally proposed do you think would have been the most successful and why?
The Civil War came to a conclusion in the month of April, 1865. President Lincoln had desired this peace; this reunion of the nation was his goal during the last four years as president. His plans insured for a peaceful reinstatement of all Confederate states into the Union, and that animosity would not exist. However, his plan would be stopped by John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln a few days after the Confederate surrender. Lincoln's plan, when compared to Andrew Johnson, and the Radical Republican's plans, was the best way to reintroduce the Confederate states. Lincoln's plans consisted of resolutions that guaranteed peace between the Southern states, economic reconstruction for the South, and fair treatment of the recently freed African Americans. Hope this helped! :]

How did Lincoln get assassinated?
He was shotJohn Wilkes Booth was a well-known actor and a Confederate spy from Maryland; though he never joined the Confederate army, he is said to have clearly had contacts with the Confederate secret service.[241] In 1864, Booth formulated a plan (very similar to one of Thomas N. Conrad previously authorized by the Confederacy[242]) to kidnap Lincoln in exchange for the release of Confederate prisoners. After attending an April 11 speech in which Lincoln promoted voting rights for blacks, an incensed Booth changed his plans and became determined to assassinate the president.[243] Learning that the President, First Lady, and head Union general Ulysses S. Grant would be attending Ford's Theatre, Booth formulated a plan with co-conspirators to assassinate Vice President Andrew Johnson, Secretary of State William H. Seward and General Grant. Without his main bodyguard, Ward Hill Lamon, Lincoln left to attend the play Our American Cousin on April 14, 1865. Grant along with his wife chose at the last minute to travel to Philadelphia instead of attending the play.[244]Lincoln's bodyguard, John Parker, left Ford's Theater during intermission to join Lincoln's coachman for drinks in the Star Saloon next door. The now unguarded President sat in his state box in the balcony. Seizing the opportunity, Booth crept up from behind and at about 10:13 pm, aimed at the back of Lincoln's head and fired at point-blank range, mortally wounding the President. Major Henry Rathbone momentarily grappled with Booth but Booth stabbed him and escaped.[245][246]After being on the run for ten days, Booth was tracked down and found on a farm in Virginia, some 30 miles (48 km) south of Washington D.C. After a brief fight, Booth was killed by Union soldiers on April 26.[247]
