__ Grant's generous terms of surrender __

Robert E. Lee was extremely outnumbered by Grant's troops, which forced him to surrender to Grant. Grant guaranteed that the United States would not prosecute the Confederate soldiers for treason. Grant allowed the Confederates to take their horses home and gave them crop for their families to survive through the winter. Grant's kindness was said to do much toward conciliating the people by Robert E. Lee.
