General Grant allowed Confederate officers and men immediate parole. They were allowed to return home. Confederate forces were fed from Union rations and CSA supplies that had been captured in the weeks before the surrender. Also, Grant issued orders for Union rations to be delivered.
As an aside, Grant was able to have 25,000 ration meals delivered to the Appomattox Court House.
The Union soldiers paid respect to General Lee as he rode away.
Lee's own troops saluted him with tears in their eyes. Most of the men could now return home in time for planting season.

What were the terms of Robert E. Lee's surrender to Grant?
Grant gave Lee generous terms of surrender. The Confederate Army of Northern Viginia was fed (at that time they were starving because of the Confederacy's lack of supplies), allowed to keep their weapons, and sent home. It is interesting to note that when Lee came to Appomattox Court House to surrender to Grant, Grant was so excited to meet the famous general that Lee had to remind him that they were there to arrange a surrender.

Why do you think General Grant allowed total war to be used to defeat lee but then offered to feed Lee's men after their surrender?
Because he was a pragmatist and a good simplifier of problems, who realised that his scorched-earth policy was the quickest way to end the war. He was not acting out of deliberate cruelty. His terms of surrender to Lee at Appomattox were so generous that Lee would not hear a word against his old enemy for the rest of his life.

What were the terms of surrender grant offered to general lee?
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."
