Actually, they were easy. The officers kept their side arms, men kept their horses to work their farms, and all were paroled as long as they obeyed the civil authority.

What were the terms of surrender grant offered to general lee?

Lieutenant General Grant wrote very generous terms of surrender to General Lee. Like President Lincoln, Grant was glad the fighting was coming to an end. He had no wish to hurt the South more. In his terms of surrender, Grant wrote that there would be no prisoners of war. General Grant did not take away all the horses from the Confederate soldiers, for he realized that the Southern farmers would need these animals to help plant crops for the now starving South. The Officers of the Confederate army were allowed to keep their guns. General Lee was allowed to keep his sword. Grant was also able to supply 25,000 ration kits for Lee's starving men. When Lee read the terms of surrender that Grant had written, he said gratefully, "You have been very generous to the South."

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.
