The Final Battle of the American Civil War was the Battle of Palmito Ranch and was fought on May 12th/13th 1865.
The Battle of Palmito Ranch took place in Cameron County, Texas and was fought between the Federal Forces of the 2nd Texas Cavalry Regiment, the 62nd US Coloured Infantry Regiment and the 34th Indiana Volunteers Infantry against the Confederate Forces of the 2nd Texas Cavalry Regiment "Mounted Rifles", Giddings Regiment, Anderson's Battalion of Cavalry, Colonel Benavides Texas Cavalry and remnants of other Confederate Units as well as some southern sympathizers.
The battle was fought over two days.
On the first day the Federal Forces advanced on the Confederate Camp at Brazos Santiago Depot near Fort Brown, Brownsville and had early success before being repulsed by a Confederate counterattack and driven back to Whites Ranch.
On the Second Day the Federals at Whites Ranch marched westward passing about a half mile from Palmito Ranch and as these forces engaged Confederates deployed near the Rio Grande a second Confederate Force struck the Federal right flank and routed it.
The battle cost the Federal forces 115 men killed, captured or wounded while the Confederate Force suffered only 5 or 6 wounded and 3 captured by no deaths.
A clear Confederate victory in what was little more than a Skirmish but what proved to be the last battle of the American Civil War.
The final engagement of the battle is famously known as Pickett's Charge, named after a division commander involved in the attack. Contemporarily it is also referred to as the Pickett-Pettigrew-Trimble assault, again named after the commanding officers.
