General Lee surrendered at Gettysburg, PA because he had lost many men during the battle.
April 9, 1865
Appomattox Court House, after the Confederates abandoned Petersburg and Richmond.
There was no formal surrender of the South to the North. General Robert E. Lee surrendered his army on April 9, 1865, at Appomattox, Virginia. General Joseph E. Johnson surrendered the armies east of the Mississippi on April 26, 1865 in Raleigh, North Carolina. The Confederate Government dissolved itself on May 2, 1865. The order went out from a Union General in Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865, for all Confederate flags to be removed and the Emancipation Proclamation to be read from every courthouse in Texas. That day is called Juneteen. Take your pick.
The last battle, major one too, was at Yorktown, 1781 A combination of American & French troops surrounded the forces of British general Cornwallis at Yorktown, Virginia, and forced the British surrender. Yorktown was a peninsula and the French fleet prevented Cornwallis to escape, as the British fleet from New York was too late for a rescue operation.
