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.
