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.
