Kirby-Smith had NO army to surrender. They had already gone home. I can quote you some sources on this if you like.

So what you are saying is that the army had already deserted before Kirby Smith surrendered?

Recommend you read Elaine Scarry on the Second Amendment and the distribution of the warmaking power, and the People's consent.

NO...simply left., Their officers disbanded them in most cases.
