Treaty of Richmond (Stonewall Lives)

The Treaty of Richmond was signed between Union generals Ulysses S. Grant and William Sherman and Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. The treaty brought an end to the five-year American Civil War, or known as the Confederate War for Independence, and the US was forced to recongize the Confederate States of America. The US was forced to hand over the Oklahoma and Arizona territory, except for the part of what would become the U.S state of Nevada. Great Britain and France recongized the Confederacy after its victory at Gettysburg, and free trade between the nations began on September 4, 1865
