What were the youngest soldiers in the Civil War?
The Youngest surviving soldier at the end of the US Civil War was Andrew 'Jackson' Botts. He was the 13 years old. Known as the 'Little Drummer Boy,' he joined the Civil war when he was 12 1/2 years old. There were other soldiers who were as young as or younger when they joined, but Andrew Jackson Botts was the only 13 year old soldier at the end of the war.

Who was the youngest person to serve in the civil war?
My Great Great Great Grandfather, who was a Confederate Solider from East Tennessee, died at age 95. He was the oldest man to serve in the Civil War. Without a name for this 95 year old soldier, it is difficult to discuss and verify. It also depends on the precise question. The oldest person to actually SERVE in the Civil War is sometimes said to be Curtis King, who was 80 years old at the time he served in 37th Iowa Infantry. Other Civil War veterans lived to much older ages, but Curtis King was 80 years old while he was serving in the war.
