The Civil War ended on April 9, 1865, when General Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox Court House, marking the beginning of a challenging recovery. Just five days later, President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, and despite the official end, fighting persisted in some regions until May. Life in the South was devastated, with destroyed crops and livestock complicating the rebuilding process, while the North focused on integrating newly freed slaves and aiding immigrants. The road to recovery was fraught with difficulties for both sides.

After the War Continues • The south had a harder time to get things back to normal because there was so much damage from the fighting. • They also had to learn how to work in the fields, and some had to reduce their land size because they did not have slaves to do all the work for them anymore. • The North had to learn what to do with the newly freed slaves that came to the North to start over.
