Port Hudson
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.

What was the importance of Vicksburg in the US Civil War?
There is a misconception regarding the importance of the fall of Vicksburg after a Federal siege. The logistics and military situation was not altered by Vicksburg's surrender. The Confederate high command had charged off Vicksburg in 1862. The loss of the city fortress and control of the Mississippi River did not add to the military situation for the Union.

What US Civil War battle did General US Grant allow for a conditional surrender?
When Union General US grant was the victor in a number of battles prior to the siege of Vicksburg, he was known for his policy of "unconditional surrender. This was not the case in the siege and fall of Vicksburg.After consulting with his generals on the two choices they had, which was to try to battle their way out of Vicksburg or surrender, the consensus was to surrender. After that decision they asked General Grant for terms of surrender. With that said, Grant realized that Vicksburg had almost 30,000 troops in the city. Dealing with all of these prisoners would have slowed down Grant's future plans to a maximum level. Grant then followed the then accepted practice of paroling the Rebel soldiers.
