With magnanimity.
At Appomattox, both commanders sensed the importance of the occasion, and it brought out the noble side in both of them.
Grant offered generous terms, allowing the Confederate troops to hand in their weapons and go home, with no jailings or persecution.
Lee ordered his men to confirm to this, and not take to the hills and carry on guerrilla operations, as some of his officers were urging.

Grant allowed the Confederate soldiers to return home, surrendering only their arms and artillery.
Lee did not offer his sword in defeat; Grant did not ask for it.
The war was over, but the bitterness would be evident for years to come.
Five days later, after the agreement was signed. President Lincoln was shot while attending a play at Ford's Theater ("Our American Cousin") - a tragic ending to a tragic war.
