Ulysses S. Grant wrote the terms of surrender.
World War II, the American Civil War and the French Revolution are examples of "total war". The enemy had to be annihilated, and no "terms of surrender" were allowed; surrender had to be unconditional. The defeated had no say at all in what happened next. During the American Civil War, Sherman's "March to the Sea" cut the Confederacy in half; the city of Atlanta was burned to the ground. In World War II, all of Germany was devastated. In Japan, most Japanese cities were fire-bombed, and two cities were destroyed with nuclear weapons.

Ulysses S. Grant
The soldiers surrender to be paroled and won't take arms up again and all arms, and ammunition. The civility led to reconciliation.
