Soldiers were to surrender. They were permitted to keep their horses for plowing, and to keep their sidearms (pistols and swords) Other arms and artillery were to be surrendered and stacked. Officers would be paroled (agreed not to fight) and would sign paroles on behalf of their soldiers.
1. the soldiers could keep their sidearms and possessions. 2. if a soldier owned a horse, they could keep it. it was planting season in the South! 3. the CSA soldiers would get a one day's ration of food 4. all the men would be released on paroll your welcome!!!!!

The American Civil War (1861-1865) had more soldiers on the Union side, with estimates suggesting that the Union Army had over 2 million soldiers, while the Confederate Army had around 750,000 to 1.2 million soldiers. The Union had a significant advantage in terms of population, industrial capacity, and resources during the conflict.
He was known as "Unconditional Surrender" Grant.
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."

The two main figures at the Appomattox Court House to discuss the terms of the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia were Confederate General Robert E. Lee and Union General US Grant. Grant was respectful of the Confederate general. As a display of goodwill, Grant ordered for 25,000 rations for Lee's starving army.
Lieutenant General Grant wrote very generous terms of surrender to General Lee. Like President Lincoln, Grant was glad the fighting was coming to an end. He had no wish to hurt the South more. In his terms of surrender, Grant wrote that there would be no prisoners of war. General Grant did not take away all the horses from the Confederate soldiers, for he realized that the Southern farmers would need these animals to help plant crops for the now starving South. The Officers of the Confederate army were allowed to keep their guns. General Lee was allowed to keep his sword. Grant was also able to supply 25,000 ration kits for Lee's starving men. When Lee read the terms of surrender that Grant had written, he said gratefully, "You have been very generous to the South."

The ratio was 2.64 union soldiers for every confederate soldier. NEW RESPONDENT The most optimistic calculations give as an overall ratio between the two armies, in terms of men employed on the field of 1,50-1,75 Union soldiers for every Confederate.
