(This person is kinda upset that I dissed their favorite browser. I actually use Chrome and I like it, but for some reason the layout here is different than on Firefox. And of course, the iPad and IE just plain suck. You tool.)

Battle of Palmito Ranch

The Battle of Palmito Ranch was the last major conflict of the Civil War, not the Battle of Appomattox Court House in which the Confederates surrendered. Palmito took place on May 12-13, 1865 about 12 miles east of Brownsville, Texas. The result was a Confederate victory, with 117 Union casualties (4 killed, 12 wounded, 101 captured) and only a handful of Confederate casualties (5 or 6 wounded, 3 captured). No one knows for sure why the fighting occurred a month after the war ended.
