"Unconditional Surrender" Grant was the name given to General Grant during the American Civil War.
General Chamberlain was the one who FORMALLY accepted the surrender; however, Lee, in standard history books that don't go very in-depth, actually surrendered to General Grant at the Appomattox Courthouse in 1865.
"Point" and "General" should have given you a pretty good clue there. Grant attended the United States Military Academy at West Point.
Ulysses S. Grant took command of the Union Armies during the final years of the US Civil War receiving full command of the troops in early 1864. He was appointed by US President Lincoln. Grant was also given the special title of Lieutenant General. Grant has been given credit for the general that defeated the South. This had been the title of George Washington and no other US general ever had it until it was given to Grant. The Confederacy used the title of lieutenant general during the war.
