The Battle of the Wilderness was the first battle in the Overland Campaign, which started in May 1864 and ended with the surrender of Lee at Appomattox in April 1865. It was a Union defeat, largely because Lee forced Grant to fight in thick forest, where his superior artillery could not be deployed.
The Virginia Campaign of 1864 included several significant battles, notably the Battle of the Wilderness, the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House, and the Battle of Cold Harbor. These confrontations were part of Ulysses S. Grant's efforts to defeat Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army. The campaign was marked by intense and brutal fighting, which ultimately aimed to capture the Confederate capital of Richmond. The campaign concluded with the Siege of Petersburg, leading to the eventual fall of Richmond in 1865.
