The ending of prisoner-exchange.
Grant saw that the Confederates would run out of men first. They did - at terrible cost in death, disease and starvation in many camps on both sides.
But this did bring the war to an end sooner than would have happened otherwise.

∙ 11y agoThe South lacked a large population; it lacked a large manufacturing capacity, and it lacked a large network of railroads. The North had a large population, huge manufacturing capacity, and extensive railroads. The North could afford to fight a prolonged war of attrition, strangling the South by slow degrees. The central strategy became known as the Anaconda Plan. The North could afford to replace the huge losses in men and materiel in battles like Shiloh, Antietam, Gettysburg, Seven Days, The Wilderness, and Cold Harbor. The South could not. Union soldiers were well fed and well supplied. Confederates were not. In the end, the North starved and overwhelmed the South.

How did the tide of the war slowly change for the union toward the end of the civil war?
As the war went on, the Union blockade of southern ports and the Mississippi choked off the Confederacy from vital supplies and reinforcements. The casualties the South suffered were difficult to replace. In a way, every Southern victory was a Pyrrhic victory. By contrast, the North's advantage in population and manufacturing capability made up for the losses in the field until the process of attrition wore the South down. War weary, starving, lacking munitions, Lee had little choice but to surrender.
