After four years of intense conflict, the Civil War finally came to an end in
April of 1865. In just one month, the city of Richmond fell, General Lee
embarked on his harrowing retreat and the Confederates surrendered at
Appomattox. The nation was shocked just a few days later when President Lincoln
was tragically assassinated. April
1865, a two-hour documentary based on the bestselling book
by historian Jay Winik, traces this critical month in American history,
capturing the concluding days of the Civil War.
