Yes. General Grant signed the treaty in the Appomattox Court House with Robert E. Lee that the fighting would stop and the soldiers would get to go home, and get all their possessions back. Obviously, they didn't have slaves anymore.
Apomattox courthouse :) +) In other words, there was no treaty, just terms of surrender, which were: 1. All officers can keep their weapons 2. All Confederate soldiers can go home as long as they agree not to fight
Yes, and that caused the nation to divide, and the civil war to happen. The Confederate lost, and there's no slavery anymore.

The Texans felt like most if not all Confederate states about the draft. They believed it went against the right of states which was one of the main reasons for the southern states split from the Union in the first place! The new Confederate Constitution stated that a central government had no right to take away the rights of individual states and the people believed that by forcing them to go to war in a "draft" was unconstitutional!
These were the two biggest border-states - that is, slave-states of the Upper South, that had stayed loyal to the Union. With these states, Lincoln had to be especially diplomatic, to persuade them not to go Confederate.
Soldiers went home if they were injured. Other times they would go home for a break.
Not all soldiers got to go home. some died, some just stayed just to fight, you know.
Grant will give them food and let them go back home. i got my answer from a civil war book. its not what is said above! This is what the terms really were: "Grant's terms were generous. The Confederate soldiers had to lay down their arms, but then were free to go home."

Because you have the Yankee Soldiers which didn't like the fact of having slaves, then you have the Confederate Soldiers which are the ones that likes the fact of having slaves. You have to think about it which part of the soldiers would you prefer Yankeesor the Confederate. Me i would go with the Yankee side they are the ones that fought for slavery while the Confederate did what they do best going along with slavery; so to answer the question I think that the Yankee soldiers should be remembered and honored because they are the ones that really helped the most.
He destroyed farms and railroads, to help starve the Confederate troops in the field. This also encouraged many Confederate soldiers to desert and go back to defend their homes.
For Nam: Just do your time (drafted for two years), then go home; that was the attitude.
That's called politics. Fighting men (Sailors, Marines, Airmen, Soldiers) have no choice in the matter. They just get drafted, go to war, do their job, then go home.
No
The ideal Confederate uniform was either a beechnut brown, or grey. It looked similer to the Union uniform, though adapted to Rebel classifications. Many soldiers did not own real uniforms, as the Confederate government was unable to supply all of its soldiers with complete uniforms. Many soldiers just wore their own clothes. Some took the uniforms of dead Rebel soldiers, after a battle or skirmish, for their own use. This was common especially when one was in need of shoes, as many soldiers had to go barefoot as the War progressed.
