Grant will give them food and let them go back home. i got my answer from a civil war book. its not what is said above! This is what the terms really were: "Grant's terms were generous. The Confederate soldiers had to lay down their arms, but then were free to go home."
Grant gave Lee generous terms of surrender. The Confederate Army of Northern Viginia was fed (at that time they were starving because of the Confederacy's lack of supplies), allowed to keep their weapons, and sent home. It is interesting to note that when Lee came to Appomattox Court House to surrender to Grant, Grant was so excited to meet the famous general that Lee had to remind him that they were there to arrange a surrender.

Hand in the weapons. Sign the parole. Go home.
When Union General US grant was the victor in a number of battles prior to the siege of Vicksburg, he was known for his policy of "unconditional surrender. This was not the case in the siege and fall of Vicksburg.After consulting with his generals on the two choices they had, which was to try to battle their way out of Vicksburg or surrender, the consensus was to surrender. After that decision they asked General Grant for terms of surrender. With that said, Grant realized that Vicksburg had almost 30,000 troops in the city. Dealing with all of these prisoners would have slowed down Grant's future plans to a maximum level. Grant then followed the then accepted practice of paroling the Rebel soldiers.
Ulysses S. Grant wrote the terms of surrender.

Grant's terms of surrender was that lee's solders could keep there small firearms, the officers could keep there horses and no one would disturb the Solders on the way home. in addition Grant also gave 25,000 rations to feed lee's troops.
