His nickname after this surrender was "Unconditional Surrender Grant".

Explanation:

Brid. General Ulysses S. Grant was the Commanding General of the Union Army during the American Civil War. He would also become famous for his ability to 'enforce' the surrender of three enemy armies and become the 18th President of the United States.
