After attending the Hampton Roads Peace Conference in February of 1865, President Lincoln had put together a set of terms for a Confederate surrender. He proposed that if the Confederates would agree to cease all military operations by April 1, 1865, he would allow for a compensated emancipation of all slaves, pardons for all political offenses, and the return of all confiscated property. These were generous terms for a Southern surrender. These were rejected by his cabinet and by Confederate President Jefferson Davis.
Confederate President Jefferson Davis held a cabinet meeting on April 13, 1865. At that meeting the cabinet and Davis agreed that it was time to negotiate with Union General Sherman to agree to surrender terms.
