The southern general who signed the surrender papers for the Army of Northern Virginia in April (the 9th) of 1865 was General Robert E. Lee. As overall commander of the army, he chose to meet personally with his opposite "number" in the Union force, General Ulysses S. Grant. The surrender was signed at the Appomattox Court House (Virginia) and led directly to the end of the Civil War as a whole.
General US Grant did not always present his opponents with an "unconditional surrender". In the case at Appomattox Court House, Grant overruled General Custer's demand of an unconditional surrender. As an aside, President Lincoln had urged Grant to be lenient with Robert E. Lee.
