What are the terms of the surrender?

History

Surrender in war means a person or group must give up control of something of value to another person or group. The terms are the promises each side makes to the other so the conflict is ended.

For example, in 1865 at Appomattox, Virginia, some of the terms of surrender included allowing soldiers to return home as long as they gave up all their military supplies. They could keep their horses or mules if they owned them. The Union would also provide them with food. These are examples of terms that could be offered at the end of a battle even though these specific terms were unusual. A more common practice was to only allow the losers to collect and bury the dead.

When Confederate General Simon Buckner sent the surrender letter to the Union forces, he asked for the terms of surrender. General Ulysses S. Grant did not offer such terms at Fort Donelson. Instead, he wanted “unconditional surrender,” meaning there would be no bargaining. By having no terms offered to them, the Confederates had to give up or continue to fight. They agreed to surrender without terms, winning an important victory for the Union. It was this event that earned Grant the nickname of “Unconditional Surrender” Grant, a new meaning for his initials U.S. Grant.

The difference between gentleman’s warfare and militia warfare in the revolutionary war
jekas [21]

Answer:

There's a popular belief that Americans fought and won the entire revolution with nothing but guerrilla warfare. That's not true, and the myth largely stems from how the war began. The very first military engagement between British and American forces occurred on April 19 of 1775. American militia men had been covertly transporting weapons and colonial government leaders from town to town, hiding them from the British army. The British heard about these stockpiles in the Massachusetts towns of Lexington and Concord and went to seize them. The American volunteers of these town gathered together to oppose the British, resulting in a brief skirmish. As the British beat a hasty retreat back towards Boston, American militia units basically popped out of the bushes along the entire road, shot a few volleys, and disappeared. It wasn't enough to decimate the British, but the British weren't prepared for it, and it drove them back.

Explanation:

Imagine that you are in charge of leading a small army of volunteer soldiers against the largest and most powerful professional army in the world. Are you going to march straight into battle? Not if you expect it to be a very long one!

For centuries, small armies have relied on guerrilla warfare to help even the odds. This includes non-traditional wartime tactics like ambushing, sabotage, and raids rather than direct engagements. Guerrilla warfare is not meant to really defeat an opponent; instead, the idea is to make the war drag on and become so expensive that your adversary gives up. It's the different between fighting a professional boxer versus a swarm of mosquitoes - the mosquitoes won't kill you, but they just may drive you away.

Amongst the many armies to try out these tactics were the American colonists fighting for their independence. The American Revolution was a conflict between a group of volunteers and a massive professional army. Did they think they could defeat Britain, the heavyweight champion of European colonialism? Maybe not, but while Britain prepared to defend its title, it was the colonists who learned how to 'float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.'
