The President immediately after the Civil War was Andrew Johnson, who as Vice President became President when Lincoln was assassinated. He served out the remainder of Lincoln's term, from April 15, 1865 to March 4, 1869, when Ulysses S. Grant became the 18th President.
If we take Appomattox as the end of the war, then Lincoln was still in the chair for a few days after the end of hostilities.
He was succeeded by Andrew Johnson of Tennessee (Republican).
The first President elected after the Cvil War was Ulysses S. Grant (Republican) in November 1868.
The end date of the US Civil War is important as once hostilities ended, certain laws pertaining to the United States based on the US Civil War changed the political scenery.
US General Sherman was negotiating the surrender of Confederate General Johnston's forces. This was happening before and after Lincoln's assassination. The New US President, Andrew Johnson, disapproved of Sherman's offer and insisted on the same terms that Confederate General Lee had surrendered under. Thus it can be seen that Andrew Johnson was the first president after the end of the US Civil War.
Woodrow Wilson served until March 4, 1921 after serving for the entire War.
The first president to be elected after the war ended was Warren Harding .
