What was the purpose of the Union siege of Petersburg?

In order to capture the Confederate capital city of Richmond, Grant wanted to cut the railway supply line that ran from Petersburg Virginia, north to Richmond. So far repeated Union attempts to take Richmond had failed. At least three or more Union tries at this goal were repulsed. Both Richmond & Petersburg we well fortified. Since attacking Petersburg seemed impossible with Confederate General Lee commanding the defence of both cities, Grant decided to lay siege to Petersburg in order to hope for a surrender. Almost 10 months passed before the siege succeeded. Because of the length of the siege, Lee had no choice but to withdraw from both Richmond & Petersburg. Grant cut the supply lines to Richmond. With Lee gone Grant;s forces were finally able to take Richmond. Lincoln, who had waited years to have this done, paid a visit to the captured city.

Can an owner of a property that allows deeded lake access to neighboring houses revoke the deeded access rights?

That depends on the terms of the original grant. If the right to revoke the easement was reserved by the owner then the easement can be revoked. The language used in grants of easements is legally significant. You need to have the original grant reviewed by an attorney who specializes in real estate law in order to determine what your rights are.


Where is silver cave in heartgold?

Mt. Silver is accessible by beating the 16th gym leader, Blue, and then seeing professor Oak, who will grant you access to the route. After you have been granted access go to the entrance to Victory Road, and the path to the left in that building should grant you access to a new route. Follow that route to the end, and you will encounter the entrance to Mt. Silver. P.S. You will need most (if not all) of the HM's equipped in order to traverse Mt. Silver.
