During the American Civil War (US Civil War) the northern army (aka Yankee Army, Northern Army, Federal Army, Union Army, U.S. Army, Blue Coats, etc.) was also known as the GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. They had one of (if not the first) US veteran groups in US history...GAR, which died out in the 1930s when the last of their membership passed into history (died out). The VFW founded in 1899 is currently the US's oldest veterans group. This organization was founded by and for US Spanish-American War (1898) veterans.

The last known Union Civil War veteran, Frank L. Williams, died on February 24, 1956. He was 109 years old at the time of his death. Williams served in the Union Army during the Civil War, and his passing marked the end of an era for those who fought in that conflict. His death was significant as it represented the conclusion of a direct living connection to the Civil War.
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 :)
