There was no official surrender of the 'Confederate Army', as such.
The only sizeable Confederate army still in the field was surrendered by Robert E. Lee at Appomattox on April 9th 1865, and this is taken as the effective end of the Civil War.
The only other Confederate force of any significance (under Joe Johnston) surrendered later the same month, and other small units in the West continued to skirmish for a while longer.
The official dissolution of the Confederacy followed in the summer, though this date is not considered historic.
