Why were the terms of the surrender at appomattox kept so simple?

Because Grant looked far beyond Appomattox: If after the war all Americans had to recognized themselves as the sons of one and only one Country, a "Peace of Brennus" had not to be imposed to the South.
In so doing he played well the thought of Lincoln, who, had he been present could not have done better.

What rank insignia did Robert E. Lee wear during the war?
Lee wore colonel's rank insignia during his surrender to Grant. Since being placed in command of the Army of Northern Virginia in 1862, Lee has held the rank of "general" which, of course, makes him senior in rank to the lieutenant generals under his command (Jackson, Longstreet, etc..) Nevertheless, Lee continued to wear a simple coat with the 3 stars on the collar, which is the rank insignia of a Conferderate colonel. The coat worn at the surrender is believed to be a separate coat that Lee kept for formal occasions and likely was worn rarely, if at all, during the war. He also woar a sash and his sword at the surrender, which he never wore day-to-day. Grant, on the other hand, wore his equally simple private's coat with the 3-star lieutenant general's shoulder epaulets that he had worn throughout the Overland campaign.
