it was a very professional surrender. both men had already known each other from a while back and they both respected each other a great deal
Lee had no choice but to surrender to Grant, as he had run out of manpower, and his men were barefoot and starving. Those two very different men could both feel that it was a historic moment, and a time for noble conduct. Lee faced up to his position manfully, and asked for terms. Grant told him that if his men handed in their weapons and took the oath of allegiance to the United States, they would be allowed to go home in peace, and there would no hangings, jailings or persecution.
After Lee's surrender at Appomattox , Grant had forbidden any demonstrations of rejoicing and sent following message to the Union soldier: Quote The war is over, the Rebels are our countrymen again and the best sign of rejoicing after victory will be to abstain from all demonstrations in the field. UNQUOTE
Grant was not acting out of personal cruelty when he applied such harsh measures in the field. He knew that attrition was the only way. After the surrender, he could afford to be generous, and he certainly was. No hangings or jailings, and a good meal for every Confederate soldier, probably their first in months.
