The so-called Overland campaign would finally have US Grant fight against Robert E. Lee. In the Spring of 1864, the campaign began with the Wilderness battle and ran forward to the Battle of Cold Harbor. It involved about six weeks of pitched battles that cost the Union 64,000 casualties and 36,000 on the Confederate side. Nearly 200,00 soldiers were involved, and this period of the war had been unprecedented in US history. That's a large remark based on all the previous battles that at their time in the US Civil War were also unprecedented.Perhaps the best worst word ( unfairly for a man charged with winning ) used against Grant at this time was the term "butcher". Even Mary Todd Lincoln is said to have used that word to describe Grant.
