The statement that best explains why the Civil War continued after the Confederate surrender at Appomattox Court House is:
The Battle of Palmito Ranch happened in Texas a month later.
This indicates that even though the major force led by General Lee had surrendered, fighting continued in other areas, showing that not all Confederate forces had surrendered immediately.
