Answer:

1. What event officially ended the Civil War?

The surrender of the Confederacy commenced with a surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia on April 9 at the Appomattox Court House, by General Robert E. Lee, concluded with a surrender of the Shenandoah on November 6, 1865, bringing the hostilities of the American Civil War to a close.

2. Why was a period of reconstruction necessary after the Civil War?

It is pardoned southerners who swore to an allegiance to the Union. It had denied the pardons to all of the Confederate military and government officials and to southerners who killed African American war prisoners.

3. What do the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution do?

The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, (known collectively as Civil War Amendments,) were all designed to ensure the equality for recently emancipated slaves. The 15th Amendment prohibited governments from denying U.S. citizens the right to vote based on race, color, or even past servitude.
