Port Hudson
The largest surrender was Lee surrendering the Army of Northern Virginia to U.S. Grant at Appomattox Court House (April 9th 1865). It was not the last surrender. Joseph E. Johnston surrendered his army to Sherman later the same month, and the final surrender was at Palmito Ranch, Texas in May. PS. Checking the troop-numbers, I find that Lee surrendered only 28,000 men. In July 1863, Grant had captured 30,000 men after the siege of Vicksburg. So it could be that Vicksburg represented the biggest surrender.
The Union victory at Vicksburg in July 1863 significantly weakened the Confederate garrison at Port Hudson, as it cut off vital supply lines and communication routes. With Vicksburg under Union control, Port Hudson became increasingly isolated, leading to dwindling resources and morale for the Confederates. This ultimately culminated in the surrender of Port Hudson shortly after Vicksburg, marking a turning point in the Civil War by giving the Union full control of the Mississippi River.
