What did the surrender terms of confederate?

The surrender terms for the Confederacy, primarily agreed upon during General Robert E. Lee's surrender to General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House in April 1865, were relatively generous. Confederate soldiers were allowed to return home, provided they laid down their arms and took an oath of allegiance to the Union. They were permitted to keep their horses and personal property, and officers were allowed to retain their sidearms. The terms aimed to promote reconciliation and healing after the brutal conflict of the Civil War.
