History Gone Wilder | Have History Will Travel's video: When Did The Civil War End
@When Did The Civil War End?
When did the Civil War end? Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant on April 9, 1865, but that was just one army. How about the Confederate armies that surrendered in the following months? Are you looking at this the wrong way? Historian Gregory Downs argues that the war ended in 1871, when all of the Southern states officially returned to the Union and their representatives were seated in Congress. So that begs the question, when did the Civil War end?
