The last port city captured by the Union during the American Civil War was Wilmington, North Carolina. The Union forces took control of Wilmington on February 22, 1865, following a series of military engagements. This capture was significant as Wilmington had been a crucial supply port for the Confederacy. The fall of Wilmington further restricted Confederate access to resources and contributed to the eventual defeat of the Confederacy.
