The Terms

Lieutenant General U. S. Grant wrote the terms for the surrender of the Confederate States Army of Northern Virginia in the form of a letter from himself to General Lee. The terms of the letter were generous and would allow the former Confederates to return home feeling that they had been treated with respect and dignity.

How were aircraft carriers an advantage in the civil war?

The North's 5 to 1 superiority in aircraft carriers gave General Grant complete air supremacy. The Navy F-4 Phantoms effectively sealed the North's blockade of the South. The air wing also disrupted Confederate supply lines and effectively forced Lee's surrender at Appomatox.
