Lee surrendered on 9 April 1865.
Johnston surrendered on 3 May 1865.
However, it was clear before then that it was only a matter of time until the North would win. At what point was it inevitable that the South could not win?
I'd date it to the re-election of Lincoln. Once he was secure in office with a veto proof GOP majority, there was nothing that was going to stop Grant and Sherman. Your thoughts?
