Why Before Grant could capture Richmond he first had to defeat Confederate forces in?
Before Grant could capture Richmond, he first had to defeat Confederate forces in Petersburg, Virginia. Petersburg was a crucial supply center for the Confederate Army, and its fall would significantly weaken their defenses.

This strategic approach was essential for the Union to gain a decisive advantage in the Civil War.
What was the operational strategy of General US Grant based on the overall advantages of the Union side?
Grant's strategy was based on his knowledge that the Army of Northern Virginia should be defeated, not the capture of Richmond. His strategy was also based on the fact that the Union had overwhelming advantages in manpower and materiel resources that the Confederacy could never match. As an aside, US President Lincoln always believed the capture of Richmond was vital. If Grant could defeat Lee's Amy of Northern Virginia, surely Richmond would soon be captured.
What role did Union General Benjamin F Butler play in US Grant's early plans to defeat the South in 1864?
General US Grant had assigned over 30,000 troops to be under the command of Major General Benjamin F. Butler. Grant' s plan closely resembled the strategy of former General George B. McClellan. Butler would ascend to the James River in Virginia and land to the south of Richmond. Grant believed that Butler's army could easily defeat the small Confederate force left to defend Richmond. Butler was expected to cut Richmond's lines of supply and communications that led to the south of the city. If for some reason Butler could not capture Richmond, he would at least cut off its lines of supply and communications and place the city under siege.
