Yes. General Lee surrendered the huge Army of Northern Virginia, April 9, 1865. Several smaller groups surrendered later in April and May. The Confederate capital of Richmond fell in April and the leaders surrendered. A few Confederate areas were not occupied by Union troops by the end of the war, notably in North Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi, plus portions of Arkansas and Texas. However, all of the state governments agreed to terms with the Federal government and were restored to the Union over the next few years.

The Army of Northern Virginia at the time of the surrender had been worn down, and one could hardly call it huge, with only around 27,000 effective soldiers at the time of the surrender, as opposed to nearly 120,000 Union troops. At no time during the war was Lee's army as large as his opponent's, sometimes being outnumbered better than two to one.
