Edmund Kirby Smith held out seven more weeks in northern Louisiana, for which he was rewarded with having a building on LSU's campus named after him.

Fun fact: the first major battle of the war took place on McLean's property in Manassas. He wanted to get away from the front lines so he moved to Appommatox.

That building wasn't much of a reward.
