General Robert E. Lee surrendered his Army of Northern Virginia at Appamatox Court House, VA. That was supposed to end the Civil War but some armies continued to fight.
(BTW, that was the official name of the town. In this area of Virginia at that time, there were many towns that included "court house" in its name.)
General J.E. Johnston's army surrendered later on April 26, 1865 at Greensboro, NC.
Johnston surrendered near Durham,at the Bennett Place home, near the scene of his last battle against Sherman. The troops mustered out near Archdale, NC, about 20 miles from Greensboro.
The American Civil War ended on April 12, 1865, after the Battle of Appomattox Courthouse, in Appomattox, Virginia, 3 days earlier on April 9. Appomattox was the final major military engagement of the war.
General Robert E. Lee, commanding General of the Confederate Army, was attempting to rejoin his forces in North Carolina. Wrongly assuming that the Union Army force blocking his way in Appomattox was only a force of Cavalry, he had no choice but to surrender when he realized that they were in fact reinforced by 2 Union Infantry Corps.
The surrender took place at the home of Wilmer Maclean on the afternoon of the 12th, the signing of the surrender documents by Lee effectively ending the Civil War.
