On the days following General Lee's surrender to General US Grant at Appomattox, Lee had his soldiers sign parole papers as per the agreement he had with General Grant. The initial group of his soldiers who first signed their parole agreements numbered approximately 8,000. In the next few days Confederate soldiers arriving late from Petersburg and the surrounding areas amounted to approximately 28,000 troops.
