Battle of the Wilderness in Northern Va.
Grant
The Battle of the Wilderness, fought from May 5 to May 7, 1864, was the first battle of Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's 1864 Virginia Overland Campaign against General Robert E. Lee and the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. Both armies suffered heavy casualties, a harbinger of a bloody war of attrition against Lee's army and, eventually, the Confederate capital, Virginia. The battle was tactically inconclusive, as Grant disengaged and continued his offensive. Grant lost 18,000 men to Lee's 11,000
The president of the united states was Abraham Lincoln, and the most famous northern general was Ulysses S. Grant (who later became president), though there were others. The Confederate president was Jefferson Davis, and the most famous Confederate general was Robert E. Lee (who had left the US army to work for the Confederates), again, there were other generals for the south.
General Grant was involved in several major battles during the Civil War, including the Battle of Shiloh, the Siege of Vicksburg, the Battle of Chattanooga, and the Overland Campaign, which included battles like the Wilderness, Spotsylvania Court House, and Cold Harbor. These battles were significant turning points in the war and helped to secure Union victories and ultimately end Confederate resistance.
