The war ended in 1865.

Some hostilities continued in remote areas even after the surrender of General Robert E. Lee at Appomattox Court House, VA on April 9, 1865 and the surrender of General Joseph Johnston at Bennett Farm, NC, on April 26, 1865. But these constituted the largest number of active Confederate forces.

April 9, 1865, the date Lee surrendered to Grant in the village of Appomattox Court House, is generally accepted as the end of the war. Because of the poor communications of the time, other groups continued to fight, and surrender, for several months afterward.
