The Civil War was over by the spring of 1865, and all the Confederate armies had surrendered, but for the victors, the peace was marred by the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. The long, painful process of rebuilding a united nation free of slavery began. The 13th Amendment, ratified in December 1865, ended slavery in the United States.
