Some historically significant events in the context of the United States include the beginning of the American Civil War in 1861, the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, and the signing of the Constitution in 1787. The United States entered World War II after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941, and the war officially ended when Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865. The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1865, abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime.
