"Grant paroled Lee's soldiers and sent them home with their personal possessions, horses, and three days' rations. Officers were permitted to keep their side arms. Within two months all remaining Confederate resistance collapsed. After four long years, at tremendous human and economic costs, the Civil War was over."

Why were they so generous to the south:The Union(North) general offered generous terms, allowing Lee's men to go home unmolested and to take with them horses or mules "to put in a crop."

What does 'terms of surrender' mean?

A term of surrender is something that a side agrees to before they surrender. for example if country "A" attacks country "B" then side B askes "A" to cease-fire and they will surrender peacefully. "A" could countinue attacking or accept "B"'s Term of surrender. Now because Of the Geneva convention Your surrender is baised on our enemies terms. Answer When two countries agree to cease fire, they negoitate the terms of the cease fire. They agree to a set of rules or terms. The same is true when one country asks to surrender. Sometimes, a defeated enemy will ask for certain terms, such as food or allow them to keep their side arms. These conditions are the Terms of Surrender. If the one who won the battle does not agree to accepting any terms, he demands only an "unconditional surrender".
