How did General Grant's terms of surrender promote reconciliation between the north and the south?
The terms were remarkably generous. He just told Lee's army to hand in their weapons, sign the parole, and go home - and if they did that, they would not be persecuted, and Lee would not be arrested. It silenced those Confederate officers who were urging the men to take to the hills and conduct guerrila operations.

Why is the battle of Gettysburg considered a high water mark of the conferderacy?
Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg is considered the High Water Mark because Gettysburg is the farthest point north that the South was able to penetrate, and the defense against it prevented Lee from penetrating any further, but that is based on an outmoded view of Gettysburg's strategic importance. In fact, it is overemphasized, and not a decisive battle strategically.
