In 1865, the American Civil War came to an end with the surrender of Confederate General Robert E. Lee to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House on April 9. This marked the conclusion of a four-year conflict over issues including states' rights and slavery. Additionally, 1865 saw the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln on April 14, which had profound implications for the nation’s Reconstruction era.
