What were Grant's generous terms of surrender and how were they important steps toward reconciliation?
The terms of surrender were that the men were free to go home, they could keep their horses to use for farming, and they were permitted to keep their sidearms. A sidearm (sword or pistol) is generally a defensive weapon- and it meant that Gen. Lee would not surrender his sword to Gen. Grant- a symbolic act of surrender. The men surrendering realized they were being given good treatment.
Which two people met to discuss terms of surrender and to officially end the Civil War?
General Lee and General Grant
What was the difference between Sherman and Johnston surrender terms to Grant's and lee?
Grant told Lee that if his men handed in their weapons and went home, they would not be persecuted. These were simply his terms for the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia. Sherman told Johnston that the cabinet was willing to negotiate with the existing Southern state governments in respect of all Confederate units, and he set out the terms under which the Southern sector would live. This was a Peace Treaty, and it went far beyond what any General was allowed to authorise. Grant immediately ordered Sherman to cancel it and declare war again. Johnston sensibly re-surrendered on the same terms Grant had given Lee.
What two people met to discuss terms of surrender and to officially end the US Civil War?
Lee met Grant to surrender the Army of Northern Virginia - by far the biggest of the Confederate armies. There was no discussion. Grant simply imposed his own terms, and they were all that Lee could have hoped for. His men were told to hand in their weapons and sign the pledge never to take up arms against the USA. After that, they could go home. This is often taken as the effective end of the Civil War. But there was another sizeable force in North Carolina under Joe Johnston, and this did not surrender for another two weeks. By that time, Lincoln had been assassinated, and Sherman gave Johnston terms which the new President, Andrew Johnson, considered too lenient, and the surrender had to be withdrawn and then enacted again. Technically, there was no official end to the Civil War, as there had never been an official declaration of war. (Congress did not recognise the Confederacy as a sovereign nation.) The Confederacy held its last cabinet meeting early in May, a few small units West of the Mississippi continued to skirmish, and a number of Confederate officers fled to Mexico rather than surrender and seek pardon.

What does 'terms of surrender' mean?
A term of surrender is something that a side agrees to before they surrender. for example if country "A" attacks country "B" then side B askes "A" to cease-fire and they will surrender peacefully. "A" could countinue attacking or accept "B"'s Term of surrender. Now because Of the Geneva convention Your surrender is baised on our enemies terms. Answer When two countries agree to cease fire, they negoitate the terms of the cease fire. They agree to a set of rules or terms. The same is true when one country asks to surrender. Sometimes, a defeated enemy will ask for certain terms, such as food or allow them to keep their side arms. These conditions are the Terms of Surrender. If the one who won the battle does not agree to accepting any terms, he demands only an "unconditional surrender".
