Soldiers at Spanish Fort and Blakely

It seems that the reminants of all those Louisiana regiments that were with the AoT found themselves consolidated and at Spanish Fort when the Federals were attacking Mobile in the Spring of 1865. For those Louisian regiments that were in Spanish Fort, was that the end of the line for them, as far as their service went. Or, did they (or some) escape and make their way into Fort Blakely to fight again?

In regards to Fort Blakely, it seems that the only Louisiana outfit to be stationed there was the 1st Louisiana Heavy Artillery. Were they in fact the only Louisiana command that fought at Fort Blakely? If so, to what extent was their controbution to the fight? Were they still acting as heavy artillery, or were they fighting as infantry?
