Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered his Confederate army to Gen. U.S. Grant at Appomattox Court House, VA.
While this event is commonly thought to have ended the U.S. Civil War, it did not, because other hostile armies remained in the field, including two large ones about 120 miles away.
On April 18 Gen. Joseph Johnston surrendered his Confederate army to Gen. William T. Sherman at Benton Place, NC. Although other hostile forces remained, this effectively ended the war.
In between these two surrenders, on April 14, President Lincoln was assassinated in Washington.
