As June of 1865 approached, not all Confederate forces had surrendered. Even though the was was in practicality over, there were "hold outs". Finally on June 2, 1865, General Kirby Smith approves of the surrender agreement of General Buckner. These were Confederates west of the Mississippi River and the last large force of Confederates to surrender.As an aside, 1,000 Confederate troops did not surrender and marched to Mexico and settled there under General Shelby rather to be ruled by the North.
