The Civil War ended when Robert E. Lee surrendered to the us at?

Question

The New Nation to the Civil war

Answer 1

The event at Appomattox, which saw the surrender of Robert E. Lee was NOT the end of the Civil War. There were further small battles and skirmishes, and the surrenders of other armies - such as the Army of Tennessee. The absolute end to the military operations of the Civil War did not occur until September 1865, when the Confederate warship C.S.S. Shenandoah struck her colours in the port of Liverpool, England, and was interned there.

Answer 2

The North created a Union and wanted to bring the South into it. The "union" refers to the federal government that was in place at the start of the civil war. Abraham Lincoln was president at the time and one of the things the Union wanted to do was end slavery which was still present in the eleven southern states that opposed the Union. As a result of the South disagreeing with the Union, they formed their own government and called it the "Confederacy". When serious talk of war on both sides came about, the south were poorly informed. The North had better ammo, better weapons, more men, and so on. What really hit the south hard was that the North were able to cut off shipping in the south of cotton between the south and England who were buying the cotton. A good chunk of the money made in the south was from cotton and now they were making none which sent many people in the south to financial ruin. They had it in their minds that they were "going to lick the yankees in a matter of days" but the war lasted four years and the south were ultimately defeated. Abraham Lincoln lived to see the end of the war which was officially declared on April 9, 1865. However, Lincoln was shot and killed a few days later.

Answer 3

General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House, VA on On April 9, 1865.

Appomattox Court House was the name of the village, but the actual place of surrender was the home of Wilmer and Virginia McLean, located in the town of Appomattox Court House.

Answer 4

Tony is absolutely correct - the Civil War did not end with the surrender of Lee to Grant at Appomatox. Lee commanded only a portion of the Confederate Army - the Army of Northern Virginia. There was also the Army of Tennessee which surrendered several weeks later to General Sherman), the Trans-Mississippi, and several departments not connected to the eastern theater of the war. The last battle of the war was several months later in Texas (battle of Palmino Ranch). One of my biggest peeves is that history continues to recognize Appomatox as the end of the war, and is simply not correct.
