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.
