Department of Alabama, Mississippi and East Louisiana
Commanded by Lieutenant General Richard Taylor
Surrendered on Thursday, 4th May
Richard Taylor, son of former United States President Zachary Taylor, commanded the administrative entity called the Department of Alabama, Mississippi and East Louisiana and under his command were some 10-12,000 Troops.
By the end of April 1865 Mobile, Alabama had fallen and news had reached Taylor of the meeting between Johnston and Sherman with this in mind Taylor agreed to meet with Major General Edward R. S. Canby for a conference a few miles north of Mobile, Alabama. On the 30 April both officers agreed a 48 hours' truce, terminable after 48 hours' notice by either party. The two parties now retired Canby to Mobile, Alabama and Taylor to Meridian, Mississippi.
Two days later Taylor elected to surrender, which he did on 4 May at Citronelle, Alabama, some 40 miles north of Mobile, Alabama. Under the terms Taylor retained control of the railway and river steamers to help transport his men as near as possible to their homes. He stayed at Meridian until all had been paroled and the last man sent on his way then he went to Mobile there joining Canby, who took him, by boat, to his home in New Orleans, Louisiana. (These forces included that of Nathan Bedford Forrest who's troops surrendered on 9th May at Gainesville, Ala.)
Later he grew to regret not having tried a guerrilla warfare as he was to say 'At the time, no doubts as to the propriety of my course entered my mind but such have since crept in.'
