The largest surrender was Lee surrendering the Army of Northern Virginia to U.S. Grant at Appomattox Court House (April 9th 1865). It was not the last surrender. Joseph E. Johnston surrendered his army to Sherman later the same month, and the final surrender was at Palmito Ranch, Texas in May. PS. Checking the troop-numbers, I find that Lee surrendered only 28,000 men. In July 1863, Grant had captured 30,000 men after the siege of Vicksburg. So it could be that Vicksburg represented the biggest surrender.

During the American Civil War, several battles turned out to be most 'key' (or, decisive) in terms of the overall outcome. The most important of these occurred in 1863: first, at Vicksburg (Mississippi), where Union troops eventually took control of this bastion of the river and thereby cut the South into two parts; second, at Gettysburg (Pennsylvania), where the second invasion-attempt by the South was stymied, with the Southern army retreating back to Virginia, never again to attempt an invasion of the North.
The printing press allowed you to make multiple copies if something in a short amount if time. Which is when they created newspapers which let the townspeople know what was going on.
