The campaigns of Union generals Sherman and US Grant in 1864 had significant differences. The public in the North had no great expectations for Sherman's operations. He was under no pressure to win battles. In contrast, US Grant was expected to win important battles in Virginia and bring the war closer to an end.Secondly, Sherman had to advance more slowly than Grant because he lacked water communications. Grant had complete lines of communications and supplies. He was able to maneuver and always have his supply lines secure.

How did the Union divide the assignments of engineers to build entrenchments between generals Grant and Sherman during the US Civil War?

There were a limited number of West Point trained engineers available to the Union in the later stages of the US Civil War. Their main purpose was to construct fortifications and trenches to serve both offensive and defensive operations. The battles in Virginia in 1864 under General Grant and Meade required more engineers due to the complexity of the campaigns and the numbers of troops involved and the particular needs of the Union's war efforts. With that said, the 30 available engineering officers of the Union were divided by having 21 assist in Virginia and having 9 sent to aid Major General Sherman in Georgia .
