Despite the heavy losses of the Union Army during the Battle of the Wilderness, General Ulysses Grant continued to pursue the Confederates southward. This was the first time the Union army had continued on an offensive in Virginia territory. His troops, who had speculated that they were retreating, rejoiced at the fact they were going to continue pursuing the rebels. This marked a turning point in the soldiers' morale, and changed the tide of the Civil War.
