The last confirmed Civil War veteran was an ex-drummer boy Albert H. Woolson who served in Company C, 1st Minnesota Heavy Artillery. He died on August 2, 1956.
The exact date of Woolson's birth is disputed, but it was probably either February 11, 1848 or (more likely) February 11, 1849. He enlisted on October 10, 1864 when he would have been either 15 or 16 years of age.

Albert Woolson was the last veteran of the civil war. And no he was not the last African American he was indeed white. He died in 1847. Decades after the civil war.I hope this helped :)
This has been the subject of many false claims. The last reunion of Civil War veterans was in 1951 when there were only three left.
It's hard to say with any degree of certainty. However, the last definitively proven Civil War veteran was Albert Woolson, who died in 1956.
The last Confederate war widow was Alberta Martin of Alabama who passed away on 31 May 2004 at the age of 97. There is however some debate on this as some others have resurfaced in the last year or so. Mrs Martin's claim is solidly supported by legal evidence and proper papers.
His name is Victor Hidalgo
