Were did the civil war end up?

Answer 1

The usual answer is where General Lee surrendered his army, at Appomattox Court House in Virginia, on April 9, 1865. This is fifty miles or so west of Richmond.

However, there were still organized Confederate military units in the field after this.

The other main rebel army was the Army of Tennessee, commanded at this time by Joseph E. Johnston. This army surrendered at Bennett Place near Durham, N. C. on April 26, 1865.

The last remaining sizable rebel force east of the Mississippi River, under Richard Taylor, surrendered at Citronelle, Alabama, May 8, 1865. Taylor and a few other officers were actually the only Confederates present as his troops were scattered throughout the department.

The last battle of the war took place in Cameron County, Texas, on May 12-13 1865, at Palmito Ranch. It was a Confederate victory.

Edmund Kirby Smith commanded Confederate forces west of the Mississippi River, in what was called "the Trans-Mississippi". He surrendered his department and army on May 26, 1865.

The last Confederates to haul down the flag were the crew of the CSS Shenandoah. This was the last of the extremely successful Confederate commerce-raiding ships. She was in the north Pacific in late June, 1865, capturing Yankee whaling ships when they learned of General Lee's surrender from newspapers found aboard one of the prizes taken. They continued taking prizes until learning from a British man-of-war of the end of all hostilities in the American Civil War on August 4. They sailed from the north Pacific around the tip of Africa to Liverpool, England, and tied up at a dock there November 6, 1865, and walked away.
