The end of the Confederacy was marked by several key events, including the fall of Richmond, Virginia, the Confederate capital, to Union forces on April 3, 1865. This was followed by General Robert E. Lee's surrender to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865. The subsequent surrenders of other Confederate armies and the capture of Confederate President Jefferson Davis in May 1865 effectively concluded the Civil War and the Confederacy's existence.
