Question 4

To determine the event marking the end of the Civil War:

• The surrender of General Robert E. Lee at Appomattox Court House (Option 1) is when the main Confederate army surrendered, effectively ending the war.
• The fall of Richmond (Option 2) was a significant event but not the final surrender.
• The Battle of Bull Run (Option 3) was an early battle, not the end.
• Lincoln's assassination (Option 4) happened after the war's end.

To identify the turning - point battle:

• The Battle of Gettysburg (Option 3) stopped Lee's invasion of the North and severely weakened his army, making it the turning point.
• Antietam (Option 1) was a major battle but not the turning point.
• Vicksburg (Option 2) was important for control of the Mississippi but not the main turning - point for Lee's army.
• Bull Run (Option 4) was an early battle.

Answer:

A. The surrender of General Robert E. Lee at Appomattox Court House
