Best Answer

The Union Army under U.S.Grant.

He pretended he wanted unconditional surrender, which would mean having to feed and transport 30,00 prisoners to Northern prison-camps - something Grant privately dreaded.

The Confederate commander wanted to save a little dignity by refusing these terms. So Grant pretended to give him a concession, by paroling the 30,000 prisoners and sending them home - exactly the outcome Grant wanted.
