Answer 1

1.Confederate troops could keep all their weapons.

Answer 2

The correct answer is option 2. "Officers and cavalrymen could take their horses".

Step-by-step explanation:

On April 9 of 1865, Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered his 28,000 troops to Union General Ulysses S. Grant. The surrender is considered a Gentlemen agreement, as no major conflicts occurred that day, which marked the end of the American Civil War. Lee asked Grant if his men could keep their horses since the Confederate army men owned their mounts and they would need them for farming. General Grant granted this ask and ordered his officers to allow any Confederate claiming a horse or a mule to keep it.
