The American Civil War ended at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865. Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union General Ulysses S. Grant, marking a significant turning point in the war. This surrender effectively led to the conclusion of the conflict, although some fighting continued in other areas for a short time afterward. The event is often seen as a symbol of the Union's victory and the beginning of the Reconstruction era.
