NITR0 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 April 9th is not the day the American Civil War ended. It is the day that General Lee surrendered the Northern Virginia Army. The war didn't officially end until June 2nd, when General Smith surrendered. General Smith was the last Confederate commander to surrender his forces, which was the end of the war.

gpatt0n Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 You're right Nitro ... Considering the nature of the divisions in the country today, one might even suggest our Civil war is still not over. pubby Link to post Share on other sites
