You are asking about the battle of Palmito Ranch, Texas, May 13, 1865. The Confederates won. A detailed description of this action is located here:

Other respondents have mentioned the last Confederate general to surrender and the last ship to sail under the Confederate flag. If you are intersted in the last action in a particular state, let me know and we'll have that for you.
