When was the Battle of Vicksburg over?
July 4th 1863. There was a bit of cat-and-mouse about the surrender. The Confederate commander, Pemberton, thought he might get more favourable terms because it was the Fourth of July. Grant pretended he wanted Unconditional Surrender, and Pemberton saved a little face by refusing. Grant then offered to parole all the prisoners, as a concession, which Pemberton agreed to. What Pemberton didn't realize was that Grant dreaded the prospect of feeding, clothing and transporting 30,000 prisoners all the way to the Northern camps. So it was win-win!
What was the name of the site that was the last and largest surrender of the civil war?
The largest surrender was Lee surrendering the Army of Northern Virginia to U.S. Grant at Appomattox Court House (April 9th 1865). It was not the last surrender. Joseph E. Johnston surrendered his army to Sherman later the same month, and the final surrender was at Palmito Ranch, Texas in May. PS. Checking the troop-numbers, I find that Lee surrendered only 28,000 men. In July 1863, Grant had captured 30,000 men after the siege of Vicksburg. So it could be that Vicksburg represented the biggest surrender.
