Richmond and Petersburg
Very consilitory and very generous.
The two cities that Grant's men captured were Petersburg and Richmond. This is known collectively as the Fall of Richmond.
During the American Civil War, Ulysses S. Grant's army fought several key battles on the way to Richmond. Notable among these were the Battle of the Wilderness in May 1864, where intense fighting resulted in heavy casualties but allowed Grant to continue his advance. This was followed by the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House, characterized by brutal trench warfare and significant losses on both sides. Finally, the Battle of Cold Harbor, occurring shortly after, saw Grant's forces suffer a devastating defeat, yet he continued to push toward Richmond despite the setbacks.

Thanks to the superiority in men and equipment: 1 - keep constant pressure on Lee's army, preventing their freedom of movement. 2 - managing to move the front to the south, using Richmond as a false goal, forcing the Confederates to cover the capital, forcing it to engage and wearing out their forces. 3 - during the last phase of the campaign trying constantly to outflank the right wing of Lee's army, threatening to disrupt vital railroads and roads connecting Richmond and Petersburg to the rest of the Confederacy. The Confederates were thus obliged to extend the line of their fortifications to prevent the threat, remaining at the end without enough troops to man the trenches and repulse the outflanking attempts by means of mobile reserve forces.
General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant at the Appomattox Courthouse on April 9, 1865 after defeats at Vicksburg, Richmond, and Petersburg.
