Who was the last confederate commander to surrender thus bringing the civil war to the end?
The last regular army Confederate general to surrender was Lt. Gen. E. Kirby Smith on May 26th 1865. He then fled to Mexico with some 2000 of his troops. Cherokee Chief Stand Waitie who was aligned with the Confederate army did not surrender his force of warriors from various Indian tribes until June 23rd 1865. As Waitie was commissioned a brigadier general in the Confederate Army, he can be said to be the last Confederate general to surrender; however, Waitie did not command a Confederate army but rather a coalition of native American irregulars aligned with but not a part of the Confederate Armed Forces.

How many troops in a confederate regiment?
On paper, an infantry regiment consisted of 10 Companies with 100 men in each for a total of 1000 men. This was a typical size of Union regiments when they were first formed and mustered into service. The Confederate regiments were not quite that size. Many didn't get to be that size as they were rushed into service. After the regiment went off to war, they began to lose men in combat. The regiment was trimmed down even smaller. It was common for a Confederate infantry company to be 40 men. It was common for Confederate regiments to be as small as 250 men during the last 2 years of the war. When the regiment experienced high loss of soldiers and officers, the regiment would be merged or "consolidated" with another regiment. Sometimes it was difficult to know this as they continued to be organized along their old regiment. Thus the 29th Mississippi Regiment and the 30th Mississippi Regiment in General Walthall's Brigade were merged into the 29th/30th Mississippi Regiment soon after the Battle of Missionary Ridge.
