Best Answer

This is normally taken as Appomattox, resulting in Lee's surrender to Grant in a nearby house the same day - the notional ending of the war.

However, Joe Johnston's army had still not surrendered to Sherman, and there was an engagement a couple of weeks later at Bentonville, North Carolina, which some like to quote as the final battle.

There were also some small skirmishes in the West after this.

So the identifying of the last battle may be a matter of opinion.
