What treaty formally ended the American Civil War in the late 19th century? 🔊
The treaty that formally ended the American Civil War was the Treaty of Appomattox, signed in April 1865. The primary outcome of this formal agreement was the surrender of Confederate General Robert E. Lee to Union General Ulysses S. Grant. This event symbolized the end of hostilities and facilitated the reunification of the nation. While not a formal treaty like others, Lee's surrender at Appomattox Courthouse was critical in the eventual restoration of the United States and set the stage for the Reconstruction era to address the war's aftermath and reintegrate the Southern states.
