These were two of the early battles in Grant's Overland Campaign in Virginia, launched in May 1864.
They were both Confederate wins, though the first one cost Lee his cavalry chief Jeb Stuart. The second was an expensive failure, and Grant gave up the idea of frontal assaults on Lee. He now crowded Lee into a corner at Petersburg - the long siege that eventually ended the war.
Scape goats abound in an army's losses. In this case, one of Grant's engineers was found At Fault for assessing fortifications of the South.
