6. "The confederacy has never actually surrendered." HEH, that seems TRUE---

General Robert E. Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia,
and all their smaller armies surrendered thereafter--
those among them who did not flee to Mexico---

but the Confederate government itself never formally surrendered,
it only dissolved,
and President Davis was only captured and imprisoned,
but he didn't really 'surrender' either...

I think that question never actually arose, because we didn't recognize the Confederacy as its own country with a legitimate government--- not like France surrendering to the Germans, for instance---
so there was no need for the Confederate government to surrender to the Union,
in the northern point of view--- only to capitulate or fade away.
