The Army of Northern Virginia to hand in its weapons, sign a parole, and go home.
If they would do this, then on behalf of the US government, Grant pledged that Lee and the other Confederate leaders would not be arrested.
In return, Lee told his officers not to try to continue the war with guerrilla operations. By this time, of course, he had no authority to give orders to anyone. But he was a uniquely respected leader, and his final command was obeyed.
This was not quite the end of the war, as Joe Johnston had been brought out of retirement to try and harrass Sherman in Carolina, and a few Confederates in Louisiana had not surrendered. But nothing of consequence happened in the field after this.
Generally speaking the surrender of Robert E. Lee to US General Grant is referred to as the surrender at the Appomattox Court House. Lee's surrender was the key which in all practical terms ended the US Civil War. Later other Southern armies would surrender.
The final battle of the American Civil War was at Palmito Ranch, Texas, on May 19, 1865; it was a month after the surrender of General Lee at Appomattox Courthouse, Virginia.
April 9th, 1865 Appomattox, Virginia Negotiations began between General Robert E Lee and General Ulysses S Grant in the McLean House near Appomattox Court House, and the terms of surrender were agreed upon. The papers were signed, at which time Lee left for his headquarters in the court house.
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.
The Battle of Appomattox, fought on April 9, 1865, resulted in the surrender of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia to Union General Ulysses S. Grant. This event marked a significant turning point in the American Civil War, effectively signaling the end of the conflict. The surrender led to a series of subsequent surrenders of remaining Confederate forces, ultimately contributing to the reunification of the United States. The terms of surrender were generous, aimed at fostering reconciliation between North and South.
