Best Answer

Lee was stuck in Petersburg, near Richmond, under siege by U.S.Grant. He had been kept on the defensive, and so was not free to conduct any of his famous bold thrusts. However he was costing Grant more casualties than Grant was costing him, although Lee was still the one running out of manpower, since Grant had ended the system of prisoner exchange.
