No peace treaty was ever signed to end the American Civil War. There was an initial peace treaty offered by the North to avoid the war, but the South rejected it. Therefore, the military law imposed during the war by General Orders No.100, The Lieber Code, is still in effect. Article 32 of that order states: "The commander of the army must leave it to the ultimate treaty of peace to settle the permanency of this change." Since there was no ultimate treaty of peace, the order still stands.

See: the National Emergency Powers Order Code 98-505 GOV, Updated September 18, 2001, that states: "The discretion available to a Civil War President in his exercise of emergency power has been harnessed, to a considerable extent, in the contemporary period."

If anyone believes there was a peace treaty signed for the Civil War, please reference the source.
