General US Grant did not always present his opponents with an "unconditional surrender". In the case at Appomattox Court House, Grant overruled General Custer's demand of an unconditional surrender. As an aside, President Lincoln had urged Grant to be lenient with Robert E. Lee.

What is the difference between reversing and overruling?

The meaning of REVERSING something is obvious.
