What was the result of war at the Appomattox?

The result of the war at Appomattox Court House, which culminated on April 9, 1865, was the surrender of Confederate General Robert E. Lee to Union General Ulysses S. Grant. This event is often considered the effective end of the American Civil War, as it marked the collapse of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. Following this surrender, other Confederate forces gradually capitulated, leading to the eventual reunification of the United States. The terms of surrender were generous, allowing Confederate soldiers to return home with their personal possessions and without being prosecuted for treason.
