Where were confederate troops forced to surrender?
Because they loose the war
Who was in command of the troops that formally accepted the surrender of the Confederate army?
Lee was defeated by the Army of the Potomac, commanded by General George Meade. But the Union General-in-Chief, U.S. Grant, was travelling with them in a mobile HQ, and it was Grant who took the surrender. Some said it should have been Meade. General Joshua Chamberlain commanded the 1st Division of 5th Corp of the Army of Potomac which gave the Honour of The Arms formally accepting the surrender of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, on Apr.12, 1865.

General Chamberlain was the one who FORMALLY accepted the surrender; however, Lee, in standard history books that don't go very in-depth, actually surrendered to General Grant at the Appomattox Courthouse in 1865.
