Meade never surrendered. If he had done, it would have been to a Confederate. Meade was commander of the Army of the Potomac, and victor of Gettysburg, only days after being appointed Army commander. He continued in command until the surrender at Appomattox. Some say he should have taken Lee's surrender, as his opposite number. But Grant took the surrender, as General-in-Chief (also Lee's opposite number in that capacity). But at that rate, Lee should strictly have surrendered all Confederate forces, not just the Army of Northern Virginia.
