Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865, primarily because his Army of Northern Virginia was surrounded and outnumbered, facing imminent defeat. After a long and grueling Civil War, the Confederate forces were low on supplies and morale, making continued resistance futile. Grant's generous terms of surrender also encouraged Lee to accept, allowing Confederate soldiers to return home with their horses and sidearms, which helped facilitate a more peaceful reconciliation.
