The last regular army Confederate general to surrender was Lt. Gen. E. Kirby Smith on May 26th 1865. He then fled to Mexico with some 2000 of his troops. Cherokee Chief Stand Waitie who was aligned with the Confederate army did not surrender his force of warriors from various Indian tribes until June 23rd 1865. As Waitie was commissioned a brigadier general in the Confederate Army, he can be said to be the last Confederate general to surrender; however, Waitie did not command a Confederate army but rather a coalition of native American irregulars aligned with but not a part of the Confederate Armed Forces.
