His troops were weak and surrounded.
By April 1865 Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia was exhausted, starving, low on ammunition and cut off from supply and escape routes by Union forces (Grant and Sheridan). Attempts to break through failed and hoped-for reinforcements/support never materialized, so surrender at Appomattox was inevitable.
