Answer 2

General Robert E. Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to General Ulysses Simpson Grant at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9, 1865. This is generally accepted as the end of the Civil War although some forces continued to fight for moths after this.

Answer 3

As the Confederate capital of Richmond fell to the Union military forces under the command of General Grant, President Jefferson Davis and the other civilian leaders of the Confederate States of America dispersed and there no longer was an effective government able to surrender. Also, President Lincoln had not recognized the Confederate States of America as a separate political and legal entity having the capacity to surrender. The only surrenders were those of the military forces. As the remaining commanders learned of the loss of Richmond and the surrender of General Lee, they began arranging the surrenders of their forces. The last major unit surrendered in June of 1865.

Answer 4

There were several. The one most of us hear about was when General Robert E. Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia to General Ulysses S. Grant and the Army of the Potomac at Appomattox Court House in Virginia in April 1865. The other Confederate armies surrendered on subsequent dates.

Answer 5

General Lee gave the surrender to General Grant at Appomatox Court House in 1865. Interestingly, the house the surrender was signed in belonged to a family who also owned the property that the first battle of the Civil War was fought on, four years before.

Answer 6

There has never been a formal Confederate surrender issued to date; The Confederacy fought until late 1865 when the CSS. Shenandoah was captured at sea.

Robert E. Lee was not the President of the Confederacy, and only had the power to surrender the Army of Northern Virginia; heck Lee did not even have the power to surrender on behalf of the State of Virginia. Thus anything that was agreed upon at Appomattox was only relevant to Lee's Army of Northern Virginia and had no bearing upon the 15 States and Territories of the Confederacy, nor did it have bearing upon the Central Government of the Confederacy.

Thus with this FACT in mind, the "War of Northern Aggression" is still being fought today; however it is a war of occupation in which the Yankee's are trying their darndest to wipe every single symbol and ounce of Confederate culture off the face of the planet.

The Southern States are not part of America, and remain a colony of the United States - i.e. an Occupied Foreign Nation no different then Poland or the Ukranie during the years of Soviet occupation during the Cold War.

In order for the Southern States to be readmitted to the Union they would of had to renter on their own accord which did not occur. The Confederate States were invaded, and militarily occupied by a foreign government and remain so to this day.

When the Southern States requested re-admittance to the Union shortly after the War, they did so not by the will of the people but by the will of the Union generals and their Union appointed politicians running those occupied States.

Thus in summary, since there was no surrender by the Confederacy, and the States did not request re-admittance to the Union on their own authority, the Southern States remain occupied by the Union, and remain part of the Confederacy and are foreign soil.

Answer 7

Contrary to popular belief, it was not Grant and Lee. Lee only commanded the Army of Virginia. In the west, Gen Joe Johnston was in command. So until Johnston surrendered, the war was still on.
