The last confirmed Civil War veteran was an ex-drummer boy Albert H. Woolson who served in Company C, 1st Minnesota Heavy Artillery. He died on August 2, 1956.
The exact date of Woolson's birth is disputed, but it was probably either February 11, 1848 or (more likely) February 11, 1849. He enlisted on October 10, 1864 when he would have been either 15 or 16 years of age.

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 :)
This has been the subject of many false claims. The last reunion of Civil War veterans was in 1951 when there were only three left.
It's hard to say with any degree of certainty. However, the last definitively proven Civil War veteran was Albert Woolson, who died in 1956.
The last verified veteran of the American Civil War, Frank Woodruff Buckles, died on February 27, 2011. He was 110 years old at the time of his death. Buckles served in the U.S. Army during World War I and was recognized for being the last living Civil War veteran until his passing.
His name is Victor Hidalgo
The drummer, Mitch Mitchell died in 2008.
Johnny Clem, the young Civil War drummer boy, died on May 13, 1937, at the age of 72. He passed away from complications related to pneumonia. Clem became famous for his service in the Union Army during the Civil War, and his legacy as a child soldier remains notable in American history.
