IIRC from my reading, Grant showed up in a dirty uniform, let Lee keep his sword, skipped the surrender ceremony, and let each rebel take one firearm home.

I'm glad this is all over and we can finally go home.
What to do now that it's done? Maybe catch a play?

And James Longstreet became one of Grants biggest supporters after the war.
He was a friend of Grant Before the war.
The Southerners tried to crucify Longstreet for that.

I was wrong. The Rebs had to turn in their rifles but they were allowed to keep their horses and mules. And they were also given food rations.

Didn’t Lincoln get shot on Good Friday?
