Best Answer

In the Eastern Theater, the last Confederate General to surrender was Brig. Gen. John C. Vaughn of East Tennessee. After arguing with the Federals about whether his men could keep their horses, this senior brigade commander in Jefferson Davis' escort finally surrendered his and other cavalry brigades in the early morning hours of May 10, 1865. Generals Edmund Kirby Smith and Stand Watie surrendered later in the Western Theater.

General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Ulysses S Grant at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9th 1865. This led directly to the end of the US Civil War. This took some time, however, for all practical purposes, Lee's surrender began the ending process.
