The end of the Civil War was primarily driven by the Union's military victories, particularly the capture of key Confederate strongholds such as Vicksburg and Atlanta. The relentless pressure from Union forces, combined with the depletion of Confederate resources and manpower, weakened the South's ability to sustain the war. Additionally, the Emancipation Proclamation shifted the war's focus to the abolition of slavery, galvanizing support for the Union cause and undermining the Confederacy. Ultimately, General Robert E. Lee's surrender to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House in April 1865 marked the definitive conclusion of the conflict.
