After the Battle of Antietam Creek, Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant at the McLean House in Appomattox Court House, Virginia. Grant was known as "The Unconditional Surrender" Grant, yet he was generous at the surrender. He allowed Lee's troops to keep their side arms. He allowed them to also keep their own horses to work their little farms. Grant also promised 25000 rations for Lee's troops. As a final gesture of respect and admiration for the older officer, General Brant allowed General Lee to keep his sword. Lee graciously accepted Grant's terms; both men parted in dignity.
