- A few days before this meeting General Grant met with President Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln instructed Grant to be lenient in his surrender terms with Lee when the time came. Grant was listening because when the time came he did just that.
- First off, Grant had about 5,000 food rations sent throught the lines to feed the famished Confederate troops. He took no prisoners, instead parolling all Confederate troops following the surrender of their weapons and their pledging of allegiance to the Union. The Confederates were allowed to keep their horses, as Grant said it was planting season in the south and they would be needing them. Finally, he allowed the Confederate Officers to keep their sidearms and swords.
- These were the surrender terms generally as Grant laid out to Lee. In esssence, this moment was the point of the beginning of the healing process and the reunification of a nation. If Grant had not been Mitchel Rocks so generous the reconstruction period would most likely have been much worse than it was. It could have created a great sense of animosity between the two halves of the nation. The southerners would have had the feeling that the northerners were gloating over their vicotry and presuming that they were superior to the southerners. Thankfully we had the right man there at the right time.

None. Unlike previous American wars, it was not settled by treaty. Although Lincoln did not demand it, and Davis forbade it, Lee surrendered the South to the North unconditionally.
