Organization

The 33rd was organized at Pensacola, Florida on April 23, 1862. The 18th Infantry Battalion was merged into the 33rd in January, 1863. The 33rd was consolidated with the 16th and 45th Infantry regiments from January to April, 1865. The 33rd was last consolidated with the 1st, 16th, and 45th infantry regiments at Smithfield, North Carolina on April 8, 1865 while serving under the command of General Joseph Johnston. The 33rd disbanded before the official surrender, and was, therefore, not present when General Johnston surrendered his army to General William T. Sherman at Durham Station, North Carolina on April 26, 1865.
